I have made a list of interesting facts about potatoes while we wait.
1. The Potato has been grown in space in 1995, potato plants were taken into space with the space shuttle Columbia. This marked the first time any food was ever grown in space. It was a sucess.
2. Potatos are 80% water only 20% is solid.
3. There exist a blue varient of the potato. where it turns blue when boiled.

4. At first many people in Europe were suspicious of them because they were not mentioned in the Bible and some others thought they were poisonous.
5. The europeans are the ones who eat more potato per year with the avarange of 88 kilos. Its like a small potato like Harry per day.
6. It was considered the food of the year by united nation in 2008.
7. The biggest producer of potato is China (int 2007) with 72 million tons per year and the smallest producer is me with less than 500 grams per year.

I'd give him an earthy turn-of-the-century British aristocratic name like Clayton McStarch or Basil Rootsworth.
We used to grow potatoes among many other fruits and vegetables in our back yard when I was young. It was a lot of work, but everything had a unique taste and consistency that you couldn't get from store-bought.
