Love hash browns, home made. The ones at the restaurants are never cooked enough.
I'll have a baked potato every once in awhile. Not a big potato eater. But, I do like them.

I love my potatoes, mostly mashed with little chunks not fully mashed, must have
butter and tad of sour cream, salt and no pepper. Gosh I am so hungry again ...

I really like a good cold potato salad. When made right it is delicious.
I have had to mostly ignore them due to being diagnosed with diabetes. Every once in awhile I allow myself to have them.
Sure is. I make a mean potato salad.
That is a big fear, diabetes and having to give up the carbs. I love potatoes, pasta, bread of any kind. Let's not even talk about sweets. I know that is very hard thing to adjust too! I always think I could not do it but I think I could now if there was not other option. I would just have to research and find things I could have. Like pizza with cauliflower crust. Pies, without the crust. etc.

Baked or smashed. When I bake, I will make it a mini meal....put some bacon bits, cheese and sour cream on top. I used to make potato salad often when Rick was alive as he preferred it over macaroni salad.
The good news is that with diabetes type 2 you can have carbs but must adjust your portion to the amount of carbs permitted per meal.

Don't eat bread or potatoes often, (maybe holidays)
but when I do, baked, double stuffed, with chives, gobs of butter,
gobs of sour cream, cheese, crisp bacon, black pepper, salt.
(completely hedonistic!) with hot sourdough bread and a juicy rib steak.

It would be hard to give up potatoes. I like potatoes in every form.

What I do if I want a potato is consider the carbs in an average potato (34 gms) & make sure the rest of the meal is low or zero carbs.
Sometimes for dinner, I'll have a potato with a green salad - which means the only carbs are in the potato.
Interesting that a sweet potato has a lower glycemic index than a white potato.

My preference is fresh summer potatoes with a little butter, S&P.
In the winter, I make mashed, done with a bit of milk. Sometimes I’ll add white pepper. It really can nip them up. Maybe a baked potato with S&P and green onions.
By February, there isn’t a decent potato to be bought. I’ll switch to boxed scalloped, throwing out the mix and doing my own blends. Other option is frozen French fries. Usually it’s rice.

I love potatoes. I'm a lazy cook so I will often bake a potato and pour some leftover soup on top. Split pea soup over a baked potato is my favourite. Chili and baked beans are good toppers too. I also like roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, and gratin potatoes. Oh, and potato salad (with dill pickles) in the summertime. Did I mention that I love potatoes?

I was raised on mashed potatoes and gravy, and I hate that stuff.
Potatoes any other way are nice. Scalloped, home fried, french fried, potato salad, baked....
I can't eat them any more though.

I like potatoes every which way, but I especially like scalloped potatoes! Baked russet potatoes with butter, salt and pepper, Greek yogurt, and sprinkled with fresh chives. For most other potato dishes, including potato salad, I like Yukon gold.
I also like sweet potatoes. 
Dobie, I agree with you, hash browns ordered out are always under cooked. Under cooked taters are a crime in my book!
On the rare occasions when I order hash browns in a restaurant, I always ask for them well done.
