Google images for ポテト show pics of 
French fries, yes, but the actual usage in  
the majority of these results seem to be 
"フライドポテト"  not "ポテト” (if you click 
through to see what the caption actually 
is), with a couple of exceptions.
The regular "potato" sense is also used in 
various compounds e.g. ポテトサラダポテトチッ
プス、ポテトグラタン etc. and should 
definitely come first, imo.

Google images results are almost all 
related to フライドポテト

Also based on my own (anecdotal) 
experience of seeing ポテト on menus.
