Potatoes vs. Energy Gels?!

[Tom K.]

Though I would rather carry tiny energy gels in my pocket..

True enough, but @Jersey Skier potato might get me into the lodge, for a sit down lunch!

Is it time for an unwarranted thread consensus yet?

It appears the market is screaming for maple chili potato energy gels.

I've been tossing around the idea of trying honey instead of Hammer Gel. I will say that using Hammer Gel has helped me not bonk on longer rides like I used to.
Potatoes--what, would you make mashed potatoes and put them in a squeeze bag?? Also, are they concentrated enough?

that would be Steamboat's own Honey Stinger gels. And google Tapioca Syrup. fast uptake but very long burn

I like their wafers a lot! I hate spending money on this stuff too much--it adds up fast!
