If you've never done it, deep fried whole potatoes are amazing. It gets creamy in a way that good mashed potatoes do. Just be careful as they can explode like anything else with a lot of water. You want to poke holes in it so the steam can escape.

I will not allow myself to purchase a deep fat fryer because it's not healthy to live exclusively off of fried potatoes and associated toppings.
