How do you take your potato ?

Only in the US :

World's Largest Potato!
 
with salt... no matter what way they are made.

as far as style.... it depends on the meal.

Breakfast = Hash Browns

Sandwiches / burgers / steaks = fries

Roasts (Beef or Poultry) / Meatloafs / stuff with brown gravy = mashed

Also adding Corn or Peas to a meal over rides the selection to be Mashed.

Porkchops and a nice baked potato is a good meal every few months or so (I'm not a big pork eater)

Potato Salad can be substituted for fries depending on mood.
 
If I am feeling unhealthy there is only one awesome way to eat potato:

Paris Mash

1kg Potato
250grams butter
250ml milk
shaved black truffle

It should have the consistency of a very thick thickshake (too thick to eat through a straw, but still liquid) with just a hint of truffle. If done properly this dish will make you give up your religion and worship it as the only true god.
 
It depends on the potato, it's variety and level of maturity.

Roast King Edwards, chipped Maris Pipers, boiled Jersy Royals, Anya, Maris Peer, Pink Fir Apple, Baked Desiree, mashed Kerrs Pink...

I'm growing 300 different varieties this year.
