63 Different Ways to Cook a Potato

How many ways do you know to cook a potato? Mashed, fried, roasted, boiled, that’s four, but what about another 59 ways? Sounds impossible, but the guys at Bon Appétit have taken on the enormous task of cooking potatoes in every way imaginable, and put it all together into a single 33-minute video. 

Some of these cooking methods are obvious, some are just absurd (electrocuting a potato, for example), and some will surprise you (watch around 22:27), but one thing is for sure, it's going to make you run straight out and grab some potatoes for dinner later.

What’s comforting is that there are a few ways that always just work, and you probably know them already. Cooking a delicious potato often calls for a good dose of salt and fat, as well as paying attention to keeping the moisture inside the spud. Another tip: boil your potatoes before frying for added crispiness.
