21. Reuben waffle fries.

Take waffle fries, put sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and a crapload of corned beef on it.


Close second, reuben boxty.


And 'comfort food' territory are just plain boxty. But my family's tradition doesn't use grated potatoes--just left over mashed, and they'd be the starch for the meal (with the ever present bread to suit my father).

I was all but force fed potatoes all the years I lived at my parents growing up (and when I visited). I would rather have the accursed tubers raw with salt than mashed or baked or just effing boiled with dried parsley garnish. French fried, sure; scalloped, au gratin, no prob; maybe even pan fried with onions on occasion, ignore the puddle of oil, esp. if fried in the same pan that the chicken or burgers or other dead animal bits were fried in. But mashed. Baked. Boiled. No. (Seriously, I think baked potatoes taste like dirt and mashed taste like dirt with butter and milk or sour cream. My ex and I compromised with garlic potatoes, and she liked my version which were really garlicky and the sour cream wasn't hard to notice ... I had to mask the flavor of dirt but didn't put it that way.)
