Potatoes are a crop that can be grown and harvested in the game. The player can find their first potato seed in the Farmers Market Stall in town; this seed will respawn once per week, so players should check back regularly if they need more.
Potatoes can be planted in soil tilled up by the Shovel, or in Outdoor Growing Pots purchased from the Decorations Store. They must be watered every day (either with the watering can, the Bunker's irrigation system or by spitting onto the dirt mound using the V key) to continue growing ; this process can be sped up by using Fertilizer. Once mature, they can be collected using a Harvest Basket, and additional seeds will drop to be replanted. One plant of potatoes will fill roughly half of a harvesting basket, give or take 5-10%. Unlike Cannabis, it is possible to fill a basket even if there is technically no more room left for an additional plant of potatoes.
Potatoes' primary purpose is to be cut into French Fries with the Deep Fryer. Once cut, they can be cooked into Poutine or packaged up to be sold to Snack Delivery.
