I kind of see what you’re saying. But potato is an ableist slur. Please be careful of that in the future.

Actually, a potato is a root vegetable grown in many places over the world, and its number of uses as an edible food item are simply staggering. The potato can be eaten raw, but usually tastes bad. It is often baked, seared, or fried; often with a variation of spices and butter. But that is just the beginning! The potato can also be sliced into long strips, then deep fried and salted. This form of the potato is commonly known as a “french fry” or “fry” in North America, or “chips” in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

The potato can even be sliced thin and baked or again, deep fried, to create a very thin, crunchy snack known as “chips” or “crisps,” respective to the previous nation listing.

Another use for the humble potato is its use in the formation of certain types of bread, from a simple potato bread loaf to the Jewish “latka,” or potato cake.

Yet another use of this fantastic tuber is its ability to be distilled into an incredibly potent alcohol known as vodka, which is traditionally and stereotypically associated with the country of Russia.
