I like most fries (even home made), potato skins (potatoes with cheese and bacon), hush puppies (I think those are potatoes), chips, mashed potatoes, hashbrowns, and certain tater tots

FYI - Hush puppies are fried balls of cornmeal batter. No 'taters in them!
 
I have been trying to make potato pancakes similar to those at Walker Brothers Pancake House (In the Chicago area). Today was my latest iteration, finely grated potatoes, flour, egg, baking powder, minced onion, pepper and salt. It is the closest yet. I just need to find the right temp setting on my cooktop.
 
I enjoy them most ways - including mashed. The most common ways that I have potatoes are as kugel and fries. The only texture that I dislike is when they're baked with liquid, such as scalloped.

I partially bake the Idaho potatoes in the oven (about 30 minutes at 400 degrees) and then grate them when cool enough to handle. Leave the skin on. Otherwise, I have a hard time getting that delicious golden crust at the same time the potatoes are thoroughly cooked. Seems using raw potatoes leads to a burnt crust.
 
I do not think that there is any preparation of potatoes that I do not completely love (must be my Irish half, lol). I have been known to have meals that were nothing but potatoes.
 
I selected all the potato options. I eat a potato almost every day. I microwave it and remove the skin. Potatoes are good, even plain.

Am old enough to remember the originals that used actual potatoes. Was kind of messy.
 
I especially love growing my own potatoes. Dig in the ground to get them and they taste a little like the earth...completely different from the super market.

I would not turn down any of them, but
  • French fries,
  • mashed, and the conspicuously missing
  • potato chips
are my favorites. 🥔
 
I just had a lovely gigantic baked potato with cheddar parm cheese, sour cream, butter and bits of bacon. Very satisfying.
 
I love potatoes in every form, french fries, baked, potato salad. They are delicious! Sadly can't eat them anymore due to my diet.
 
I regularly eat baked potatoes. They're one food that is non-offensive to my sensory issues. I very much also like fries and chips!
