You say "potato," we say "is there plenty of ketchup involved?"
Because potatoes, quite often, lead to French fries, and French fries, as a general rule, lead to small plate-based pools of ketchup, or ranch, or even mayonnaise, if you're feeling it.
(Even milkshakes get the fry-dipping treatment on occasion, and by "on occasion" we mean frequently, for this not-so-offbeat pairing is well-loved by many people.)
