I also vote potatoes because you can make lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

It boggles my mind that cauliflower makes a better stew than potatoes.
I think potatoes are better for mass planting. Especially if you harvest on a high luck day you can get lots of extras and you can get more harvests per season.

What's it doing?! Stupid, fat hobbit! You ruins it!

Samwise Gamgee:
What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on them. What we need is a few good taters.

Smeagol:
What's "taters", precious? What's "taters", eh?

Samwise Gamgee:
Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick 'em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. [Smeagol spits in disgust] Even you couldn't say no to that.

Smeagol:
Oh yes, we could! Spoiling nice fish! Give it to us raw, and wriggling! You keep nasty chips!

Samwise Gamgee:
You're hopeless

Potatoes. Cauliflower might have a higher gold/day count, but Potatoes have a much faster return to profit then Cauliflower as they take half as long to grow. That means you can build a larger field much faster and building a big field as soon as possible is actually more important.

In general and in most scenarios potatos are more profitable.

What can be interesting addition Cauliflower can be growed into giant crop which multiple profit of it (more for processing as giant crop dont yield improved quality) - but focusing on giant crop is not very reliable and can end as big waste of time.

In first year(s) grow both anyway - good chance you will utilize it in bundle or quests (or gifts). Make enough potatos for keep your jars busy as needed and focus strawberries for real spring profit:p
