Perfect Potato

The poutine was great. As good as I had in Canada. Service was very helpful. Portions are huge, the regular size filled me. I will be back!

I am not even finished with my vegetarian poutine yet but I had to tell yall it’s SO GOOD. The gravy is insane. The vegetables on top are nice and colorful and crunchy and make you feel a little healthy and are not overpowering of the poutine situation as I worried they might be. I kinda wondered what was up with a potato shop on 5^th ave but now I know and I hope you will know soon too. Really, super, delicious.

LOVE this place. All of the staff is very friendly, and I’ve never walked away unsatisfied. Every milkshake I’ve tried has been delicious, and the fries and sauces are also spectacular (I especially liked the coconut curry). I’ve never tried the poutine, but it’s next on my list.
Although maybe not the «healthiest» meal, definitely come here if you want some of the best fries and shakes in Park Slope! Most definitely worth a try (or two or three or four…)

So excited to find somewhere with vegetarian poutine in Brooklyn! The mushroom poutine is great and (counter) service was quick and friendly. Will return!

Best poutine AND milkshake I’ve ever had. The ingredients were so fresh and flaborful. Such great flavor combos for both and the staff were so friendly. I’m coming here everytime I’m around Barclay center from now on!

Finally went in for some poutine. Perfect Potato you are so fantastic I can just explode right now. I’m obsessed with how good my lunch was and am looking forward to coming back.
Had the classic and a shake — I can’t remember a better lunch, Like in FOREVER. OK, I remember a few good ones and this indeed will be added to that list.
Owner asked me if everything was okay, and I said «if I had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it ’ one hundred’. I wonder if she thought I was kidding. I was not — it’s like my new favorite food! Giant perfect fries topped with this incredible light and perfect cheese/​cheese curds? and the best gravy I ever had in my 49 years of life. Say what!!! — all true. I’m going back next sun.
Stephanie showed me the mushroom dish. It looked similar to what I ordered except it had mushrooms and other vegetable on top. It looked amazing — just as mine was.
I wonder if they knew even the name of this eatery would be so perfectly spot on. Perfect Potato is perfect in every way.

Incredible! They use quality, fresh ingredients. The customer service was friendly and efficient! The serving sizes are a good value and they make a whole meal.

Nice big fries covered in a rich and creamy gravy. The BBQ beef balls have extra white pepper seeds so that’s an interesting kick. It’s good food to share because it’s so hearty and the order is big. I wish they had beer on tap. The customer service was very friendly. Maybe overly friendly.

The fries here are delicious I would highly recommend it. If you’re in the mood for some awesome fries a great varieties of sauces and Poutine the hit this spot up the staff are soooo cool make you feel like long time friends.

The best fries in Brooklyn! Whether you go for the poutine or just a side of fries with one of their special sauces you will not be disappointed. I got the coconut curry and Thai chile lime cashew sauce on my fries and my mouth was tingling. Great location on 5^th Ave in park slope, you don’t want to miss this place.

When I heard Poutine came to Park Slope, it was necessary to come here. Not only do they have Poutine, but they also have Belgian fries and milkshakes! I had the classic Poutine with mushroom gravy (vegetarian) and it was amazing, just like the Poutine I had out in Canada! The serving size is extremely generous. The service was fantastic, they were very friendly and were happy to answer any of our questions. An added bonus: the bowls, utensils, and cups used there are all compostable. Good music was playing which is always appreciated, and extremely clean. Seriously cannot wait to come back and for them to start delivering!

TLDR; Small shop. No bathroom. Come here for fries and good sauces as a snack. Very friendly staff.
The Perfect Potato is a very small shop with seating only along one wall and the window. There is also no bathroom. BUT this place has killer service! The staff was extremely patient and friendly. They enthusiastically told us about ingredients in case of allergies and introduced us to their homemade sodas while not being pushy or overwhelming (Trust me, I’m so socially awkward. I really hate when people try to sell me anything uncalled for.)
I wish this place had more options for potatoes because I only saw fries, poutine, and mashed potato poutine. I never had poutine before this but for those who are wondering, it is basically fries covered in gravy and cheese curd. I tried the following:
— Mashed Potato Poutine w/​Roast Pork: I split the regular size with my boyfriend when we were hungry and it was enough along with everything else we got. It’s a pretty filling dish topped with onions, bacon, edamame, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. I like the taste but I did get tired of it halfway through because I don’t really like cheese curd. It was warm but the toppings made some of the bites pretty cold and I didn’t like how that mixed.
— Small Fries with 2 sauces (1^st one is free): Fries are delicious, especially with sauces! We got «Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with Roasted Garlic and Oregano» which was my personal favorite. My boyfriend got the «Jamaican Jerk» and he said it was the best funky ketchup he’s ever had in his life. To me, it had a nice tint of spice like a light BBQ ketchup. I prefer the «Sun Dried» though. Overall, the fries were thick, crispy and not too salty on its own. GET THE FRIES.

Just had a meal w my two sons after having a sample on the street two weeks ago. Wow!
Totally delicious. The hangover special cures a hangover I didn’t even have. My son had a classic poutine w beef that struck the perfect note. And for my other son the picky eater they made a special of plain fries w bacon on the side. Add two milkshakes and your in carb heaven.
As noted the owner is very nice and they clearly aim to please. I wish this place the best and will be back soon myself.
Plus the owner used to live in Colorado and knew Matt Stone and Trey Parker. :)

Perfect Potato is great, but it’s not perfect. I found Perfect Potato after looking for a Belgian fries place in Brooklyn. After reading the great Unilocal reviews, and the recognition it has been getting locally, I really wanted to come here. I’m glad I did and will be returning again.
The place is small, but they did a great job with the design. The seating area is a long table with chairs along the wall, and a table with 2 chairs by the window. The staff is very friendly. The was mostly PoC as well.
I ordered the roast pork poutine and an orange soda. The poutine is not cheap (10.95 for a regular), but it is worth the price. It was very delicious! The pork was tender, gravy was great and the peppers and curds were perfectly placed. However, a couple of the fries were little raw. I also tried the jerk ketchup one of my friends ordered. It was great, but the jerk seasoning tasted very similar to a store-​bought seasoning I use. I guess they can’t make everything from scratch.
Great little place with good food and staff. If you love Belgian fries and don’t want to go to Manhattan, give this place a try.

I had the regular poutine. It’s hard to tell by the photos, but the serving sizes for the Poutine are very large. The poutine was good and I thought it was great that they fry the fries on demand, but something about the gravy and cheese curds failed to transport me to Quebec. Mile End shall remain my go-​to place for Poutine.
I also had the PB&J shake. I was not thrilled by the very expensive price ($ 8 for 12 oz.) but the taste was OUT OF THIS WORLD. It was incredibly delicious. Next time I’m in the mood to reward myself with a luxury and high calorie treat, I’m headed back here for this shake.
Lastly, the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.

Great poutine! Could use a little more cheese curds.

Got the roast pork poutine and was super happy. The pork was excellent. They even gave us a few fries before the meal with different dipping sauces. The Fries are obviously freshly cut, thick, and perfect. I’ve lived in Canada for a few years and these guys have a tremendous product. Best of luck guys.

The Peanut Butter & Jelly Milkshake I had here was far closer to perfection than the strange poutine and the too thick Belgian Fries.
The simple menu at this small new place, which is now at least the 4^th or 5^th all potato eatery in NY, is a little different than the others in that they also offer several varieties of poutine.
There were a couple specials available, including a vegan one, but I went with what is usually a safe option and ordered the one called «The Hangover Cure» (by safe, I mean the one usually covered in tons of good junk and really delicious artery-​clogging stuff) ($ 10 for the regular size).
The cool thing is that they are dropping the fries into the fryer on the spot, so it’s all very fresh. The bad thing is that this poutine did not taste very good. Instead of some chopped up bacon and a beautiful, runny fried egg like I expected, the bowl of fries was topped with a hard-​cooked egg with a solid yolk, a few pieces of strip bacon scattered around, and even stranger, a bunch of random vegetables like peppers, tomatoes, onions and peas (trust me: don’t put peas in your poutine).
After a minute or so, the gravy congealed in a really lumpy, unappetizing way, so we didn’t bother eating much more. We also got a medium order of the Belgian Fries ($ 7), which tasted much better, but were not nearly as good as say Pommes Frites or several other fry joints. They were too thick and not nearly crispy enough.
Lastly, as mentioned above, they also have shakes to go with the fries, and these seem to be the bright spot of the menu. I went with a small PB&J ($ 8), which was actually incredible. As the very helpful and polite employee and her manager informed me, they grind the peanuts fresh in house rather than using jarred peanut butter. You could definitely taste this, as you got chunks of peanuts with every sip. This one is the must order if you are a fan of peanut butter.
The owner was very energetic and super friendly, but I just didn’t particularly enjoy the fries. If I was in the neighborhood though, I would definitely stop in to try another one of the great shakes.

Man, that other reviewer down there is a sourpuss. Honestly, there should be 30 more shops that address this market (though I’d still go to Perfect Potato).
The fries are delicious, the staff makes a concerted effort towards exemplary customer service, and the soda is tasty. I hope they can stick around — it’s well worth the money.

I love my French fries possibly even more than the next guy, but even I had a reawakening when I tried the Pulled Pork poutine. A mountain of gravy, meat, vegetables, and sauce yields a delicious dinner… and it was less than $ 10. Next time I go I’m getting the Hangover poutine.
What hasn’t been made clear is that most of the ingredients are sourced locally, including the cheese curds which are made specially for PP. The guys working there were super friendly and passionate about French fries. It was a really great experience overall.
This place opened less than a week ago, so help support a new local business and try the meanest poutine this side of the Brooklyn Bridge!
