The potato is a starchy

Brown or red-skinned tuber

That I simply love

Boiled, baked or grilled

With steak or fish 

- – -

It’s eaten as a cooked

Vegetable 

And may be sweet

- – - 

I love the potato

After it’s peeled

And cooked tender enough

To be mashed

- – -

I use a special

Gravy to have mashed potatoes

And gravy as part of my meal

- – -

I love eating the potato

When it’s sliced thinly

Fried, and salted

To make potato chips

- – -

I can’t resist a potato

That’s prepared as  French fries

That’s part of most menus

At restaurants in many towns

Around the world

- – -

For chips to be healthy 

It’s best to use

A good oil, like olive oil

For frying

- – -

If you enjoy your potato

With butter

Use a modest amount
