That's a really difficult question.

See, we really like potatoes and we are also very progressive people so potato has both feminine and masculine version of the word. And it's totally different from just saying Mr. Potato or Ms/Mrs. Potato, trust me!

brambor (masculine) and brambora (feminine)
there are also some regional words(taken from other languages to some degree): "bandora, zemák, erteple, jablóško, krumpla, kobzol" from which 2 I've never heard, one I forgot it means what it means, two I actually hear sometimes and one I use ironically. But hey, they are there. Somewhere.

There is also this thing with diminutives here which I lack in English. Potato. Little potato. Yeah, pretty lame try, boring anglons. Let me show you something:

Brambora/brambor <- potato
brambůrka/brambůrek <- little potato/potato chip/crisp
brambůrečka/brambůreček <- tiny kawaii potato
brambůrečíčka/brambůrečíček <- your heads just exploded because of how the speaker loves potatoes
...
...
brambůrečíčíčí,...,n+1,číčka <- yeah, that's how I call my potatoes. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I pronounce it [peruna]. Also found out that potaatti and pääry are words for potato in Finnish. I'm more familiar with the words pottu and perna (which is stands for spleen)
