Are you like us where you have this innate love for all things potatoes? We can all agree that potatoes, no matter in what form, are still the best thing in existence. Take mashed potato, for instance, it’s smooth and creamy. Fries, on the other hand, is crispy on the outside and makes for that perfect sharing snack. Since we’re on this topic, here is a list of 10 places in Penang where you can find the best dishes that are curated using potatoes.

Serving the best Texas-style BBQ in Penang, Smoke Papa BBQ also serves amazing potato dishes. We’ve tried their Pulled Pork U.S. Potatoes and Cheesy U.S. Potatoes Fries that we just couldn’t get enough of!
For the Pulled Pork U.S. Potatoes, what we love is the perfect combination of ingredients like shredded pulled pork, BBQ, and cheese sauce as well as fresh onions. If you’re a cheese lover, then the Cheesy U.S. Potatoes is made for you as it comes drizzled with a generous amount of cheese sauce over crispy U.S. fries.

This time around, we managed to try their Crispy Meatball U.S. Mashed Potatoes and U.S. Potatoes Hash & Egg Pocket. The first dish comprises crispy on-the-outside meatballs served atop creamy mashed potato while the second dish comes with smooth mashed potatoes wrapped in a pocket. If you ask us, we’d highly recommend going for the Crispy Meatball!

Two potato-based dishes that we tried here are the Garlic Chilli Oil U.S. Potato Noodles, Cheesy Ham Hasselback U.S. Potatoes. The potato noodles were tender and chewy and when mixed with garlic chilli oil, really elevates the entire dish. You get both savoury and fragrance in one bite. As for the other dish, you get U.S. potatoes, cheese and ham in one bite-sized golden brown snack. Yummy!
