Spuds are also purdies, pratties, and tatties.
We don't have purdies, pratties, and tatties, but do have taters, also baked Idaho. Idaho is famous for it's taters.
Do you have anything like what we can an English muffin or is it as I suspect and American invention? It's a flat yeast bread cut out like a biscuit, but pan fried. We cut it in half and toast it with butter and maybe add jelly.

I know you didn't ask me, but it was something I had been curious about for a while, so I looked it up. Apparently they do have English muffins in England, but they are called muffins. Interesting. I actually thought they were crumpets.
What we deem a muffin is an American muffin.
