Fall is such a fun time of the year. It’s just so beautiful with all the leaves changing colors and the weather being just perfect, not too hot or cold but just right. It also comes with two amazing holidays where people can eat a lot of great food, like potatoes. There are many different kinds to choose from and ways to eat them. Anyone can have a different favorite kind of potato and why it’s their favorite. 

“I would have to say it’s the sweet potato and I’ve just been really enjoying sweet potato fries with ranch. I don’t know, it’s kind of a weird combo, but I really like it,” said Christopher Rob, who is studying general studies.  

Some people like to have potatoes often, while others like to only have them around the holidays. 

“I feel like I don’t have many potatoes, but when I have mashed potatoes it’s during the holiday season. Like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even New Year’s, because you’re still in the comfort food season,” said Sierra Bell, who is studying liberal arts.  

While some people like fancier potato offerings, others like to keep it extremely basic so they can use it for all kinds of different recipes and times of the day. 

“It’s pretty universal in its usage.  You can use it for fries or mashed potatoes. Plus, the way you cook it, too. You can use it for basically any meal. Like hash browns for breakfast, fries for lunch, and then mashed potatoes for dinner,” said Atticus Sutton, who is studying communications.
