When I wrote a post about first-date conversation starters<\/a>, a reader named Ann left the funniest comment\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, my first-date question is the same question I use at parties or with new friends, and it is \u2018What are your top three ways to eat a potato?\u2019 It is WONDERFUL because you get this beautiful patchwork quilt of someone\u2019s life. In my experience, people don\u2019t just say, \u2018fried, mashed, baked,\u2019 but rather, \u2018the steak fries at the diner where I used to go with my best friend in high school\u2019 or \u2018the kettle chips that my aunt had at her house whenever I slept over\u2019 kind of thing. Those details make for the juiciest and most delicious first date. Plus, it\u2019s a silly question, and everyone needs a laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brilliant, right? What would your answer be? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mine would definitely include English potato chips, because I spent almost every summer of my childhood eating them at my grandparents\u2019 house<\/a>, and now my children<\/a> are doing the same.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plus, the flavors are amazing, like roast chicken and prawn cocktail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And my brother\u2019s pro tip? Put them in a mug so no one will know you have them (and therefore won\u2019t steal any).<\/p>\n

Now you: What\u2019s your top way to eat potatoes? Would you ask this on a date?<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. Check out all our potato posts<\/a> (yes, we now have a potato page!), including a chic potato salad<\/a> and eight great mashed-potato mix-ins<\/a>. <\/p>\n
