42. My wife's "Bratkartoffeln"

The potatoes are boiled, then cut into either barely (as in just a little too big) bite-sized pieces and/or slices. Then, they are slow-sautéed in a little bit of butter or oil, mixing in cajun spice for some character. The slow sautée means way less oil/butter is needed, and they are not greasy at all. Then briefly broiled for a slightly crispy exterior.

If all other food in the world should disappear, I could survive on just that for the rest if my life, and just take pills for the nutritional supplements, they taste THAT good.

Number two: Catalan patates braves. Boiled and cut as above (no slices), sautéed in a very spicy mixture of olive oil and heavy garlic aioli. Bring lots of water!
