Mashed or boiled. Baked are horrible.

Oven cooked chips are good as well.

The spud surely is one of natures masterpieces

It's so versatile

I used to even have a spud gun when I was a cub

YES!
All forms of potato.
Mash made with a ricer however, is a controversial subject, I for one, prefer a rougher mash, with some texture :twisted:

Mashed, or in chip form (American or British)

Also raw, although I don't eat them raw like I use to. When I was growing up, my mom would be dice potatoes to make mashed potatoes, and she did not mind me eating some of the diced bits. Sometimes she would cut off a chunk of potato and give it to me.

I guess I like baked potatoes too, in the oven, or on the grill when it comes out with a quarter inch of well done to nearly burnt outer layer.

Mashed are easiest to eat.

I'll eat any potato you put on my plate. Potatoes are one of the greatest foods ever created

I went right off mashed potato for years because of the lumps

These days I'm more likely to go towards the lumps

I like chips but I get bored of them after one or two

I like roast potatoes

I love jacket potatoes

But I could easily live without boiled potatoes

I have a vague memory of eating the things raw like an apple when I was a kid

Boiled potatoes rock IMHO. How can anyone resist them with butter?
