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. Both words are in the lyrics to the classic song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" first heard in the 1937 Fred Astaire movie Shall We Dance. (Also by Harry Connick, Jr. in 1989's When Harry Met Sally).
