[I personally do find potatoes delicious, but was entertained by the phrasing.]

In other words, according to the poster, they taste like what potatoes would taste like if potatoes didn't taste like potatoes.

I want to thank you most sincerely for this valuable information. :)

Mmmh, no, not exactly. There's something in potatoes that could be good if it weren't drowned out by whatever else is in potatoes that doesn't taste good. To be more specific, probably what I like is the starchy taste, and what I don't like is the soily aftertaste.

Jerusalem artichokes do, in fact, taste somewhat like potatoes. However, they also taste the way potatoes should taste -- less like dirt, more like food.

Try the now somewhat overexposed Yukon Golds (not raw) they atually are very unpotatoey. I do like potatoes, sometimes, although I find them a bit starchy (I am probably very odd - I don't much love bread, either, except for very rich, heavy, sweet breads, or else covered over with something -i.e. a sandwich. Although I do like rice. Go figure), but YGs are quite tasty in my opinion. SO are the blue ones, and I also like the Russian bananas. Actually now that I think about it, what I like are heirloom varieties, which like most heirloom varieties, taste far superior to what you normally get at the grocery.

Potatoes are so delicious I'll eat them raw -- depending on what sort of soil they're grown in. My favourite potatoes are from Prince Edward Island; Idaho-grown potatoes I can barely stand even if they're cooked and heavily seasoned.
