Potato usually has a long A as in (puh-TAY-toh).

However, it is also pronounced with a short A as (puh-TAH-toh). This is, however, much rarer than the similar situation with "tomato" (tuh-may-toh, tuh-mah-toh).

Either is correct. There are two pronunciations :poh-tay-toh (long A)poh-tah-toh (short A)This is also the case with "tomato" which according to a given dialect has either the long A or short A sound.
