How to get it

  • Available in normal shop rotations at the top end of Common pricing. Still affordable but costs roughly three times a Carrot seed.
  • Time your purchase so you still have enough currency left for the next shop refresh in case a better option appears.

Best strategy

  • Potato is the best Common-tier option when you need a single large payout to bridge into Uncommon territory.
  • Avoid running Potato as your sustained loop — its single-harvest nature means downtime between replants, which repeat crops avoid.

FAQs

Plant detail follow-up questions

Use the FAQ area for interpretation questions, not for repeating the stat block.

Is Potato the best Common crop overall?

It has the highest single-harvest value, but for sustained income Blueberry's repeat harvests usually outperform. Potato is best as a one-time cash boost.

When should I plant Potato instead of saving for Uncommon seeds?

When a single Potato harvest (84 Shillings) would push you over the threshold needed to buy your first Uncommon seed like Cabbage (72-Shilling seed). The 26-Shilling profit per cycle is solid for bridging that gap.

How long does Potato take to grow and what is it worth?

Potato grows in 1.1 minutes and sells for 84 Shillings in a single harvest. The seed costs 58 Shillings, giving 26 Shillings profit per cycle. With Storm's Shocked mutation (4.5x), a single Potato can pay out 378 Shillings — enough to buy most Uncommon seeds outright.
