Potatoes freak me out. Ever grown them? Chop into chunks, toss 'em in the dirt, wait a couple of months, now ya got 5X potatoes.

My first try died off to a fungus. Still got 5X what I put in.

Even peels will grow to full potatoes.

And they’ll grow literally everywhere, not “literally” but LITERALLY. The roots just needs to see no light at all as the potatoes will turn green and poisonous.

I have taters in the ground now, just planted. Here's hoping I get 10x potatoes. I don't know what I'll do with all of them though.

Potato leek soup is good when it gets cold.

Roasted and leftovers refried into home fries is never a bad way to go either.

Nobody believes me when I say that! I grew them! You chop em up throw em in the dirt and they grow! You are happy with taking cuttings from any other plant but potatoes? Oh you can't just chop em up and bury them. Then what did I just grow aliens? Ugh.
