As a processed food (or fuel), sure. But I think as an ingredient in ‘traditional recipies’, I still think potatos are more common and versitile. When I eat corn, I don’t know it most of the time, while that is not the case for potatos, yet they appear in nearly as many foods (depending on how corn-syrup based your diet is I guess).
Cornbread, corn on cob/elotes, corn niblets, corn chowder, corn mash to make whiskey, champurado, polenta/grits, cornmeal breaded seafood, popcorn, cornflakes, tortilla chips, corn tortillas, all kinds of snack chips, hominy, candy corn, hushpuppies, corn dogs. All without mentioning corn syrup or corn ethanol… And that’s just off the top of my FUCKING head, friendo.
Friend… We need to talk about corn.

Potatoes also are a New World food, they’ve been around in the Old World only since like 1600
