As far as your stomach knows, all potatoes are mashed potatoes!
Raw?
I made the mistake of juicing raw potatoes once, figuring the other vegetable juices like beets and carrots would mask any of the potato flavor.
Won’t ever do that again.
Yes. I eat them like apples.
They’re the apple of the earth 😋

Not only are they versatile, they’re easy to grow in marginal soils without extra irrigation, store for a long time without refrigeration, can be dehydrated and stored even longer, and if it starts sprouting you can just plant it again and get more potatoes.
If there’s two plants you should learn to grow for the apocalypse I recommend potatoes and pumpkins and if you can pick one it’s definitely potatoes.
You don’t even need soil, you can just put them on the ground and cover them with hay, and they grow just fine.
And they’re prolific. With intensive cultivation you can get hundreds of pounds a year out of a hundred square feet.
Fermented?
I’ll try anything once. Although you may be right, fermented may be one form I’ll say “No, thanks” to.
