In love with the shape of you: A culinary tribute
Potatoes, in all their forms—from straight-cut fries to shoestring fries, steak fries to waffle fries—hold a special place in our hearts and kitchens. When Pubity, the London-based culture and entertainment platform conducted a poll on 'Greatest Vegetable of All Time', it was predictable that potato will win the race. 'Our fans voted Potato as the 'Greatest Vegetable of All Time' in a 76% vs 24% decision over Garlic,' they wrote announcing the winner. 'Potato is the most versatile root vegetable, it can be used in millions of ways. Yet it delivers different taste and flavour when fused with different ingredients. Not just that, potatoes are often linked to a 'feel-good' factor due to their high starch content and the way they impact serotonin production, a neurotransmitter associated with mood and well-being,' says chef Reetu Uday Kugaji. So no matter what shape and size a potato is, it can uplift your mood in no time. Here are some best pairings to keep in mind: Straight-cut fries: The traditional, uniform fries—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Pair them with burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, or classic fish and chips for a traditional combo. Shoestring fries: Ultra-thin and crispy, these fries cook quickly and are perfect for topping dishes or snacking. Serve alongside sliders, grilled cheese sandwiches, or crispy chicken tenders for a delightful contrast in textures Steak fries: Thick-cut wedges with a hearty bite, ideal for dipping in sauces. Complement with hearty dishes like steak, grilled sausages, or a classic club sandwich. Crinkle-cut fries: Wavy, ridged fries that hold sauces well and offer a satisfying crunch. Pair with crispy chicken sandwiches, burgers, or a classic hot dog for a nostalgic meal. Waffle fries: Lattice-patterned fries that maximize surface area, making them excellent for dipping. Great with grilled chicken wraps, barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, or a veggie burger. Curly fries: Spiral-cut fries seasoned with a blend of spices, offering a fun and flavourful twist. Serve with spicy chicken wings, grilled shrimp, or a classic cheeseburger for a flavourful meal. Tornado fries: Potato slices twisted into a spiral on a skewer, deep-fried for a crispy snack. Pair with spicy grilled chicken, barbecue ribs, or a hearty steak for an exciting twist. Pommes soufflées: Double-fried slices that puff up into delicate, airy balloons. Ideal with gourmet dishes like duck confit, filet mignon, or a delicate seafood platter. Tater tots: Grated potatoes formed into small cylinders, deep-fried to golden perfection. Perfect with chili, scrambled eggs, or a hearty breakfast burrito. Inputs from chef Nishant Choubey

Hit ITV daytime quiz set for another spin-off as bosses film pilot episode
A HIT ITV daytime quiz show has landed another spin-off by bosses as a secret pilot episode is recorded. Execs at the channel are quietly plotting another version of The Chase - and it's nothing like the current spin-off. 3 3 Production listings reveal a new travel competition spin-off is in the works and a pilot episode was recorded. Website TVZone reports the pilot - which won't be broadcast on television - was produced last month. The yet-to-be announced spin-off is being made by Potato - the same production company behind the regular series of The Chase. The Sun has contacted ITV. The show, hosted by Bradley Walsh, has aired over 2,500 episodes across 18 series since its launch. In 2020, ITV successfully launched Beat the Chasers - a spin-off to the regular series that sees all five chasers appear in each episode. Payers have to answer a number of multiple choice questions to build up their cash-pot and eventually take on the group. Each Chaser will then offer time and money depending on the contestant's ability. Their choice results in a nail-biting head-to-head race against the clock. The Chase contestant narrowly misses out on £80k Earlier this year Anne Hegerty confirmed Beat the Chasers would return for a seventh series on ITV. Its most recent series aired in January, stripped across a week, airing on ITV1. The Chase's best moments The Chase has been entertaining ITV viewers for years, here are some of the show's most memorable moments... Bradley Walsh can't stop laughing Every time host Bradley Walsh erupts into fits of laughter on The Chase it makes for pretty entertaining TV. One particularly memorable occasion was when he was asking the question 'The title of which Elvis Presley song was engraved of the inside of Freddie Star's coffin?" As usual the contestant was given four multiple choices but Bradley could get through reading them out before bursting into hysterics. Seeming the idea of the song being option 'B: Way Down' was too much for the presenter to handle. The Double Trouble special To celebrate 15 years of The Chase on screens, ITV launched a special 'double trouble' episode where contestants faced off against not one but two of the show's beloved Chasers. And despite the odds, the contestants managed to go home with some cash! The contestants with famous names Eagle-eyed ITV fans are always quick to spot interesting and sometimes hidden details on the quiz show - but there have been a few times where the names of some contestants have been overtly obvious. For example, one 2017 episode of the quiz show saw Bradley welcome four contestants who were named after Friends characters Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey. Another group of contestants with named from The Simpsons were also grouped together in another episode, much to viewers' amusement. The Beast's anger gets the best of him During an episode from the 2024 season, Mark Labbett let out his inner beast as he exploded in a fit of anger. Close to losing the competition in the Final Chase, Mark then made a silly mistake and incorrectly answered the question, 'Rabbit was a 1980 hit for which Cockney duo?' 'Oh, you idiot!' he yelled at himself while slamming the table in front of him. With seconds left on the clock, the Chaser then admitted defeat, moaning "I don't deserve to win."

Potato, the dog, rescued by state police while running on highway
HOLLY TWP., MICH (Fox 2) - A pair of Michigan State Police Troopers made quick work of locating and rescuing Potato on Friday afternoon. The Troopers spent about 15 minutes searching for and rescuing the 4-year-old Boston Terrier as she was running around on and near I-75 in Holly Township. Troopers arrived just before 3 p.m. to find numerous citizens chasing a dog across the open freeway travel lanes with traffic speeding by. Once troopers corralled all the loose drivers off the freeway and back to their cars, they set out after the dog. According to MSP, she was identified by her collar tag as "Potato." Potato was then safety transported --in the front seat of a patrol car-- to her owner off the freeway. "We know it is a natural instinct to jump out of your car and try to catch a dog on the freeway. The better plan is to call 911 so responders can stop the traffic before someone gets hurt." said F/Lt. Mike Shaw. "Drivers actually make the situation worse as they may chase the dog into the traffic lanes or even run in front of moving traffic themselves."
