Sure, but 'spud' is generally taken to mean raw potatoes, as in He bought ten pounds of spuds. You almost never hear He had spuds with his dinner.
Spuds are also purdies, pratties, and tatties.

Just sayin'. Lol
Funny that they had it on the menu, then. He blanched because he was an American and thought I was ordering potato crisps, not fried potatoes.
