In-Game Text
"The man who has nothing to boast of but his ancestors is like a potato - the only good belonging to him is under ground."
– Sir Thomas Overbury (1581 - 1613)
A fruit of the dirt, its growing popularity in the old world has reached the shores of the colonies and with it, the knowledge of its cultivation! Although many find it bland alone, the potato makes for a filling meal.
About
 Any Potatoes are the product of a Potato Harvest. If you don't have access to  Potato Chunks for Planting, you can plant a  Wild Tuber instead.
Planting
Only 1x Potato Chunk is required when Planting Any Potato.
Farming Purity
The Purity of crops Harvested from a  Tilled Field is based on a combination of the Purity of the Tilled Field, the Purity of the Seeds used when Planting, and chance, which may increase or decrease the Purity of a Harvest by a few percent. Each time the Harvest is higher than the Tilled Field's Purity that Field's Purity will permanently increase by up to 1%.
Harvesting
There are 4 different varieties of Potato which can be produced from a Tilled Field. The variety you get depends on the total accumulated Influence of the Blue and the Pink bars. Growing Potatoes adds to the Red bar. When Harvesting Any Potatoes you may also rarely receive a  Curious Potato.
