How many words can you make from the word potatoes?

Ten points for whoever lists the most words. the rules are: you can use plurals - tap and taps count as two seperate words. there's no minimum word size - a counts as a word. you can use proper nouns - poe is ok. all words have to be english, or at least in common english usage - pâté is ok. the guys taking the word potatoes and plugging it in to an anagram generator haven't read the query. you know, when i counted them all up and disallowed a few words [i'm sorry, syllables like oots, et and poo aren't real words; they're not], i find that claireclaire, butterfly and bruhaha are all there or thereabouts with the same wordcount. so how about i give the ten points to the first one to tell me how they got all their words?
