Chips (they name for fries), crisps (their name for chips), mashed, and all sorts of other ways potatoes can be prepared. Every damn meal, including breakfast you got potatoes unless you specifically excluded them

I;m going back on my diet, so potatoes will soon be off my list of permissible food.
