I Heart Potatos



Linda Greene of Moon Township, Pa., discovered this heart-shaped potato in February which, incidentally, is also Potato Lover's Month. It's also the month of the tuber star Mr. Potato Head's recognized birthday, Feb. 5.

Ms. Greene, a fan of hearts, saved the Valentine-shaped spud from certain death by french fry.

  1. You mean to say I have been ignoring Mr. Potato Head's b-day all this time?! I wonder what this woman will sell it on ebay like you see all those Jesus images on potatos chips on there.

  2. I'm sure she'll research the matter. Chances are someone will offer her way too much money for it for no earthly reason ;-)

  4. I wouldn't pay anything for it, but it is an interesting phenomenon. Remember the Nixon rutabaga?

  6. caz: I agree. I love potatos year round, but February was designated Potato Lover's Month by Congress after growers lobbied for a way to sell more potatoes during a slow month. Who knew there was a slow potato month?
