Tamale topped with chili, served in a hot dog bun


Vada Pav (Mumbai)
Deep fried potato dumpling placed inside a bread bun

Sandwich filled with chips


Aloo Paratha (Punjab)
Paratha stuffed with potato


Spaghetti Sandwich (Australia)
Cooked spaghetti with sauce and bread


Aloo Biryani (Kolkata)

Potato Pierogi (Eastern Europe)
Pierogi stuffed with mashed potato


Pizza con Patate (Italy)

Tacos de Papa (Mexico)

French Fry Sandwich (Chicago)
Shoestring fries piled on an Italian beef bun, dipped in the gravy, smothered with precisely two ladles of nacho cheese sauce (or a mozzarella option), and finally topped with hot giardiniera

Rice and pasta toasted in butter and then simmered in chicken stock



Potato Burrito (California)
Flour tortilla filled with pan fried potatoes, black beans, rice, cheese and sour cream
