That's just lazy french fries.
I was going to say hasselback but now I might change my answer.
Hasslebacks sexy little sister?
Is this cut after/during baking or before? I want to eat this right now.

Personally I would deep fry it rather than bake it, but to each their own

Vodka
Either you've never tasted vodka or you've never tasted anything else made from potatoes.
Taste is just one feature, and not the most important for vodka.
Taste is the second most important feature of Vodka in that it is not supposed to have one. The least important feature is whether it is made from potatoes or not. You can make vodka out of practically anything.

Twice-baked potatoes. Bake them, lay them on the side, slice the top off, scoop out the potato while leaving the skin intact like a little boat. Mash the spuds with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, cheese, and bacon bits (scallions too if you like them - I don’t), scoop back into the potato, shred more cheese on top, bake until melted.
Perfection.
In taiwan they bake them, mash them, sculpt the mash into a potato shape, bread that, fry it, cut that open, then serve it with some combo of broccoli, corn, pineapple, shrimp, oyster mushroom and always swimming in an inch of nacho cheese.

The better question is to ask what's the worst thing made from potatoes. It's potatoes, boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew, can't go wrong.
pierogi, duh
Food
It's hard to say. Every potato dish is great.
If you were to rephrase the question as "If you could only eat one potato dish for the rest of your life, which would you choose?" I think I would find it hard to argue against the humble baked potato
For me, baked potatoes is just about the worst thing you can do with a potato. It's not that they're bad, it's just that everything else is better.
I'd choose potato chips. If I'm stuck with only the one thing forever, I'm going to at least choose the one with the biggest range of flavours.
I've been pan frying pre boiled potatoes for breakfast instead of toast. Pop a couple of fried eggs on top. Vege snags and caramelised onion on the side. 🤌🤌🤌
yes
Chips. Specifically ones wrapped in paper from the chippy. The simplicity is the key.

How has no one said a loaded baked potato.
Large large potato Stuffed with shredded chicken or pulled pork, bacon, sour cream, cheese, and chives, then bbq sauce or some hot sauce.
That's perfect use for a potato.
Gratin Dauphinois
According to Taste Atlas, it's Kartupeļu pankūkas.

Really, really well made mashed potates is heavenly.
Combine with the grease from some meat you're serving it with... Yum.
Tots dude. They're basically cylindrical hashbrowns. You can eat them straight up with some sauce, throw them in a breakfast burrito, or use them as the base for a casserole

Kesselsknall. A German recipe, basically a large hash brown with bacon and sausage, baked in an oven.
Curly fries
I think that "best" is tough, but some that I like:
-
Smashed potatoes. More texture than mashed. I favor olive oil over butter.
-
Uno's
a US Chicago-style pizza chain
has an appetizer that they call "pizza skins", which is a deep dish pizza basically containing loaded mashed potatoes. I think that it's pretty good, better than their regular pizzas.
Yes
Chips
I'm struggling to decide between hasselback, mashed, potato cakes, and scalloped.
To make matters worse, I have discovered the existence of bloomin potatoes and pommes anna.
Yes.
