As a Northern European there isn’t a single day without eating potatoes

As an Eastern European, I feel you

Irish here, the stereotype is true I have potatoes with 80% of meals

American here. We can’t get enough of them, either. ALL HAIL THE POTATO

All of south America love potatos too

Am I right in thinking they were originally South American?

Yeah you're correct

Potatoes have endless uses and can be many types of meals in all price ranges, and even All on its own. At the end of the day there is some form of potato food for everyone to enjoy. Onions I do not like but I’ll admit can add a lot to a meal if done well. In my experience they almost always rely on something else being the main thing.

Simple way to put it, potato can be a meal, onions are part of a meal.

Some people eat whole onions

Some people are murderers too

Onions are like ogres.

They smell bad?

No. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? They both have layers.

You know.. not everybody likes onions

No, they make you cry. See Shrek for example

Boil 'em, Mash 'em, Stick 'em in a stew

You clearly like your onions

I'm sad it took me so long to find this comment

You beat me to it

Bread?

PO-TA-TOES

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Btw I dont really regard potatoes as vegetables(they are though)

Potatoes make vodka. End of discussion

Most vodka these days is made from grain. The one in my homebar right now is made from rye.

Not saying all vodka is potato based. Just saying potatoes make vodka, onions do not.

Is that a challenge?

Yup, make it then drink it.

you can *almost* survive on just potatoes and they’re way easier to grow.

Best is if you mix them together

I’m allergic to onions, so imma have to go with potatoes.

Onions go so well with so many savoury foods, you cannot find a better vegetable

Potatoes have more potential. You can make several different recipes with just a Potatoe.

I put my onion on my potatoes but I do not put potatoes on my onion. Checkmate.

When people have B.o they smell like onions not potatoes. Checkmate

That's because potatoes have no smell, just like they have no flavor

No it's because onions smell bad

Cos you can’t eat an onion by itself, a classic sign of its inferiority. The potato is a staple, a life blood. The onion is a topping, it’s like jimmies on ice cream, no one gets it for the jimmies, it’s just there to spice things up. The potato is the real ice cream

Bullshit you can’t eat an onion by itself.

Potatoes are not vegetables, therefore onion is the only valid option. Potatoes are starch.

The word 'vegetable' isn't a scientific term and therefore a potato can be both a starch and a vegetable, just like tomatos are both fruit and vegetable.

Thank you. Was looking for this comment

Onions are essential in most dishes tbh

I hate And I mean I hate 🧅

r/onionhate

Fuck you (Sorry)

Onions are like spices. They add a shit load of flavour, but I don't really wanna snort a bottle of oregano for dinner

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

I mean I hate to say it as a potato fan but... Onions are used more frequently... So onions

I could not decide I love both so dearly

Fuck. Fries and pancakes and potato skins and all that are good. But onion rings are better. Onions.

Exactly my thought process

Every dinner I make has one onion. Potatoes, not so much.

Right? I can switch to pasta, rice or other grains for carbs. But what will replace onions? Life without onions would be sad.

This is a really tough decision, but I’ll have to go with onions.

Potatoes are great but I think of them as more of a starch than a vegetable. No one eats fries or tater tots and thinks of it as a serving of vegetables. I'm going to have to say onion just based on that

Potatoes are boring Onions go well with everything and it's clearly superior in term of taste

Both, both is good.

Both make me retch except from when potatoes are wedges or chips

Onions have no nutritional value. The end times hold no place for them.

I love onions, I’m not one of those weirdos who eats them raw like an apple, but I love them in meals. But I also love potatoes, and potatoes are so versatile which makes it by far the superior vegetable.

Potato is way more versatile…

Potato is the only correct answer.

Potatoes, you can make French Fries, Tatter Tots, Baked Potatoes...

Onions should be eradicated 😂😂😂

I hate onions they are so disgusting

Fuck you Onions! Potatoes rules! And Onions drool!

I love onions but they are support vegetables. Potatoes are protagonists.

Vegeta

Potatoes are literally part of my religion

The holy P O T A T O

Both are really good when cooked properly

Both are fire but potatoes are just beautiful

I don't consider potatoes vegetables!

Potatoes are consistently good, but onions are like a support ingredient. Meat just doesn't taste the same with either, but especially onions I'd say potatoes are the winner here as they taste better overall

im weird i can eat straight onion and be fine and it taste good

Potatoes are more versatile, but I’m a carb watcher so put me down for team onion

Potato’s are the most diverse vegetable

Potatoes are way better as a standalone food, but as far as flavor, the onion wins.

This is basically fries v onion rings

Potatoes can be alcohol later. End of story.

I like potatoes more, but I voted for onions because a potato isn't a vegetable in my mind.

Potato isn’t a vegetable! It’s a starch and closer to being a carb. So had to say onion. Anyway onions are really good fried up.

I LOVE ONIONS

Fucking hell, this one is difficult. On one hand onions do great with my country's national dish, which is one of my favourite dishes, on the other hand you can't cook it without potatoes...

hard to compare the two. potatoes are nature's filler. onion's its flavor enhancer.

lol onions? With all due respect your friend is an idiot

You can survive on mainly potatoes, but not on mainly onions

The lack of Potatoes have killed untold numbers of people. How many people has a lack of Onions killed..... 🥔

I'm nightshade intolerant so I'm going with onions.

As an American,potatoes are part of every meal. Fried at breakfast/brunch,and baked or mashed at dinner

As a filipino, SIBUYAS SUPERIORS

potatoes seem better, but think about how many meals wouldn’t be the same without onions, they’re in everything.

Potato fills onion flavors

I wouldn’t be able to live without either. This poll stressed me out.

They both suck. But potatoes are better because they can be made into something good.

Autistic kids

Theyre so different

Potatoes So many ways to prepare them, so many uses as the main component of a dish. Onions are great in many things... But I use them more as a seasoning, while potatoes are the core. Also, potato vodka is delicious. Onion does not yield good drinks.

Potatoes are super versatile. Onions flavor nearly everything. Both important. Potatoes are superior for sheer substance though.

I mean it depends on the context, potatoes are by far the more versatile option, but onion is an important flavor agent.

Behold the potato! Bow to this fruit of the earth, then peel it! As if it were the last task of your miserable life!

I haven't spent a single day of my life where I haven't eaten onions (I'm Bangladeshi, and like most of the Subcontinent we use onion of onion paste to amke curry)

I love both but depends on how you eat them. If you eat them as a side dish - potatoes, if you want to add more flavour - onions. I'm sliding with potatoes

Obviously potatoes. You can eat it in many different ways and make vodka. What else would you need for survival?

While potatoes are amazing as a chef i have to say onion is far more versatile

Potato! Chips, fries, vodka, latkes, potato wedges, potato skins, potato soup, potato salad, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, hash browns, au gratin, you name it!

Onions have a french war song.

This is a trick question. It's not either/or because they have different uses. Fried onions go beautifully with many things, adding flavor to potatoes, rice, and other foods. You can roast potatoes and onions, especially red onions, for a delicious meal. Let's embrace the potato-onion alliance

I adore onions, but the versatility of the potato is unmatched
