It is hard not to love Dolly Parton. Not only is she one of the most accomplished singers ever, but she is one of the most charming celebrities out there. It appears that everything this Grammy winner does resonates with the fans. Even if that is something simple like professing her love for potatoes.

Parton recently made her debut on TikTok and shared a number of clips, the majority of them revolving around food. The one that social media users responded the most to was an excerpt from the interview Parton had with WIRED.

As part of the interview, Parton was responding to the internet’s most searched questions about her. One of them was about her favorite food, and the “Jolene” singer didn’t have to think twice. It was potatoes.

“Every diet I’ve ever fell off of has been because of a potato,” said Parton. “Either french fries, or mashed potatoes, or baked potatoes. Potato, potato, potato! I’ve never met a spud I didn’t like.”

The clip with Parton’s love ode to potatoes quickly became viral on TikTok, receiving five million views in just three days.
