In honor of Wednesday's underappreciated National Potato Day holiday, the internet's No. 1 authority on holidays National Today surveyed 1,000 people to identify the most loved potato dishes.

Top Choice: French Fries: As one would expect, the top loved potato dish is the classic French Fry with McDonald's Corp's MCD reigning supreme, according to National Today. Nearly one-in-four people surveyed said the often overlooked curly fry is their preferred french fry of choice.

Nearly half of the people surveyed said PepsiCo, Inc.'s PEP Frito-Lay chips is their preferred brand of choice.
