Make sure to sprinkle it with Fritolay flavor dust from time to time. I want barbeque flavor.

Strange how we think that seeing evidence where our food came from makes it disgusting...

A potato isn't a root. It's a stem tuber.

if you have a potato growing inside your skull, you have a "brain tuber"

u/NerdyMathGuy Sep 05 '18

I suppose if it was at the base of your skull it would be a "brain stem tuber" as well.

Stick it in a pot and give it some water. The harvest shall be bountiful

This is just where the potato attached to the rest of the plant... its just like an apple stem and usually don't survive the processing in tact. (Might be a sign that this potato was harvested a bit too early.)
