I was given this charming soft toy at the ProWine fair in Singapore. I love potatoes. Baked potatoes in their jackets are best when you are on a diet.

Wikipedia gives a comprehensive history of the Mr Potato game and how it developed.

You can go onto the potato museum website and see what is in their gift shop. They have a patch, a magnet, mugs with a giant potato on a truck (in England we say lorry) and a poster with Marilyn Monroe.

You can eat in the potato cafe.

Wikipedia says
in 2016, the museum renovated the baggage claim area of the depot which was used for storage and opened the Potato Station Café. The café serves baked potatoes, French fries and other potato-themed foods such as potato bread, potato cupcakes, and chocolate dipped potato chips.

Bloggers can find more than 600 recipes!

You can also see a museum about French fries in Bruges, Belgium.

The Mr Potato head toy (with several parts) is for ages 2 and up.
