Ah, the classic potato debate! It's actually a pretty easy answer. The correct spelling is "potatoes," with an "e" before the "s." This is one of those tricky words where it's tempting to leave off that final vowel sound, but don't be fooled - it's an important one!
To remember how to spell "potatoes," you can use a little trick: just think of the word "toes." They're spelled almost the same, with that final "e" before the "s." So the next time you're unsure which spelling to use, just ask yourself: does it have the "toes" sound at the end? If yes, then it's "potatoes!"
And just think about all the delicious dishes we would miss out on if we didn't know how to spell this word - mashed potatoes, French fries, potato soup, the list goes on! So let's embrace the "e" and keep on spud-ing.
