I have to say my favourite way of eating potatoes is chips, but I always have chips out of the oven because they are far more healthier for you than fried. I don't like fried chips because they are very greasy and full of saturated fats. I eat loads of chips, sometimes I have jacket potatoes with cheese and coleslaw inside but mainly oven chips with my dinner.

Fried chips are testy but not healthy. Good for you that you eat oven chips.

I use to eat potato when I was younger. My mother make them smash. She adds oignons, a little of milk and just a bit of Mayo and cheese.. Hum.. Delicious potato. Now that I am on my own, I barely cook. Use to eat cereals most of the time. :)

French fries are good, we bake ours and then really enjoy them out when they are fried.
Mashed are great with all the gravy!
In a stew is wonderful since they soak up some flavor from the broth. Especially with carrots..yum
A baked potato is filling with some cheese and broccoli and bacon on top. A great lunch.

I love all kinds of potatoes especially French fries although i try not to eat too much of it, the good thing about potatoes is that it has long life and can be kept at home for emergency fast meals :) they are easy to make into many delicious forms..

I love potatoes in many forms, especially as crisps which is not the healthiest form LOL! I also love curry potatoes, the hotter the better, as well as mashed potatoes with a small knob of butter if I'm having battered fish. I like to have boiled potatoes with a salad with salt and pepper and lemon, mmm yummy! I don't mind roast potatoes once in a while and would say that French Fries are my least favourite way of having potatoes, too much oil and too crispy!

Hello sweetlady!(",)
I love potatoes! I always make potato fries out of it. I also love mashed potato and potato salad.
I think they said that its common because potatoes are an important food source. They are the most widely cultivated vegetable in the world. An average-sized potato weighing between 6 and 8 ounces contains less than 100 calories. Potatoes consist of about 80 percent water, 20 percent solid matter, and have a high nutritional value. Starch makes up about 85 percent of this solid mass and the rest is protein. Potatoes also provide vitamins including niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamin C. They also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulfur.
Great day!(",)

In my household, I would say we have potato at least 3 times a week, and up to 5. =]
We have a variety, including baked potatoes, chips, potato in pasta/curry, mashed potato, potato salad.
We just love potatoes, and I will eat it any way but raw =D

I've seemed to have eaten potatoes in almost every form there is. My most favorite is baked potato & mashed potato. I have actually made mashed potato from potatoes using a fork, & that's a pretty good work-out for the wrists & hands. I've also enjoyed scalloped potato in a cheddar cheese sauce.
Some of the not-so healthy that I've enjoyed are home fries, french fries, & potato chips. French fries seem to be a fast-food favorite when it comes to those fast food places (like McDonald's & Burger King) that seem to be a real obesity concern.
Oh - yeah - I've also been known to eat leftover baked potato like it was a piece of fruit after it's been chilled in the refridgerator. Before baking, I do give potatoes a good scrubbing, & therefore, the skin is edible too.

Mashed potato is my favorite. I like it because it's so soft and easy to eat, and you can mix in butter or gravy with it and make it even more delicious (and fattening, I know).

Very interesting that I was just talking to someone today about this same subject. My co-worker brought up mashed potatoes and it made me think of something I haven't done with them in a long time. I used to make potato pattys out of mashed potatos and fry them. yum yum!!!

I am growing potatoes in my garden and those are lovely. I eat salad every day. I am not vegetarian.
