Revealed: The best forms of POTATO, according to ChatGPT – so, do you agree?

From Canadian poutine to Scottish potato scones, potatoes are a staple vegetable in cuisines around the world.

But despite being enjoyed on every continent, diners still can't agree on the best form of potato.

While many enjoy creamy options like mash or champ, others prefer crunchier varieties like triple-cooked potato chips or potato chips.

To settle this controversy once and for all, MailOnline has enlisted the help of ChatGPT.

So, do you agree with the potato classification provided by the AI ​​robot?

The humble potato originates from the highlands of the Andes and was first introduced to Europe in the 16th century.

Today, it is the fifth most important crop in the world after wheat, corn, rice, and sugarcane.

All over the world, starchy vegetables are now enjoyed in a range of weird and wonderful forms.

In an attempt to reveal what the ultimate potato looks like, MailOnline took to ChatGPT and asked the AI ​​bot: “What's the best shape of potato?”

The robot diplomatically stated that the “best” form of potato is subjective and depends on personal preferences.

However, I eventually settled on eight popular forms.

The “comfort food classic” of mashed potatoes topped the list, followed by baked potatoes.

'Roasting potatoes in the oven gives them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. “They can be seasoned with herbs and spices for more flavour,” ChatGPT said.

French fries came in third place, followed by baked potatoes, which the bot suggested would be best served with “sour cream, butter, cheese, chives, or other toppings.”

Crisp lovers will be happy to hear that potato chips (or “potato chips,” as the American robot calls them) came in fifth place, followed by hash browns.

Meanwhile, two slightly unusual options – potato salad and gnocchi – have been revealed as the seventh and eighth variants.

MailOnline prompted the bot to name just one type of potato, and it chose mashed potatoes.

“Choosing one type of potato is challenging because it depends on individual preferences and the context of the meal,” she said.

“However, if I had to choose based on variety and popularity, mashed potatoes would likely be the top contender.

Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be served with a variety of main dishes, and can be customized with different flavors, such as garlic, herbs, or cheese.

“Its creamy texture and ability to complement a wide range of flavors makes it a favorite among many people.”

The potato classification comes shortly after ChatGPT attempted to classify the items in a full English breakfast.

In first place was crispy bacon, which ChatGPT described as a “staple” of the English breakfast.

Eggs followed, with ChatGPT suggesting that fried or scrambled eggs would suffice.

“Fried or scrambled eggs are an important part of the meal and add protein,” the robot explained.

The third most important ingredient is pork sausage, which 'They add delicious flavor to breakfast and are an essential ingredient, according to ChatGPT.

Meanwhile, good old toast came in fourth place.
