All over

This is a serious survey and need accurate results which I will announce when the thread is full . All you need to do is choose three of the following ways you like your potatoes. Give just the three corresponding numbers so is easier for me to do the maths later. All count equally so don't worry about order. Must choose 3 though so results are not skewed and only from these. Please do not suggest something else or tell us you don't like potatoes on this thread Thank you very much

1. Chips

2. Jacket

3. Mash

4. Boiled (includes for salad)

5. Roast

6. Wedges

7. Hasselback

8. Gnocchi

9. Rosti

10. Fondant

11. Duchess

12. Potato crisps
