There are big potatoes and small potatoes. Big ones are in the range of a pound, while smaller ones are in the range of a couple of ounces. I have seen some VERY large potatoes, at a couple of pounds or so.
To estimate that a carrot has more mass, you can compare it to a similar object with a known mass, like a potato. By holding both objects, you can gauge their weight by feel. Additionally, using a kitchen scale would provide a precise measurement of mass in grams or ounces, allowing for a direct comparison. If the carrot weighs more than the potato, you can conclude that it has more mass.
If you have a poato with a given mass and turn it into potato chips it will weigh less as water has been driven off in the cooking process. As weight and mass are proportional at any given location it has less mass in its cooked form.
Since you can make many potato chips out of one potato, obviously a whole potato has more mass than one potato chip.

Which is the best estimate for the mass of a duck?

A potato will decrease in mass if salt (sodium chloride) is applied to it. The salt will absorb water which is contained in the potato.
A digital balance is the best equipment for measuring the change in mass of potato slices after placing them in different concentrations of salt water. It provides accurate measurements of mass before and after the experiment.
