“I needed to say something. Something romantic! Something to sweep her off her feet.
"You're like a potato!" I shouted after her. "In a minefield.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Firefight

“Just don't fall into a tanning bed.

These machines are for vapid, narcissistic, idiots who have barren vacuums where their thoughts, fears, and passions should be.

Spending time in a tanning bed will only earn you the appearance and intellect of an inbred baked potato.

Don't be a baked potato.
Be a person.”
― Matthew Inman, The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances (Volume 5)

“It is easy to think of potatoes, and fortunately for men who have not much money it is easy to think of them with a certain safety. Potatoes are one of the last things to disappear, in times of war, which is probably why they should not be forgotten in times of peace.”
― M.F.K. Fisher, How to Cook a Wolf

“Smeagol won't grub for roots and carrotses and - taters. What's taters,precious, eh, what's taters?"

“We really never, never threw anything away. You think you know about recycling? We invented it. We had to. We were desperate. Sometimes maybe the only thing we had to work with was a couple of leftover baked potatoes from the weekend, and that was all there was to eat. Didn't matter to us that much. Ma just baked them again. Twice-Baked Potatoes really were kind of a treat for us, and we'd never complain when she served them.”
― Clara Cannucciari, Clara's Kitchen: Wisdom, Memories, and Recipes from the Great Depression

“The meaning of sex is illustrated by two eponymous heroes of British history, King Edward VII (who flourished in the years before the First World War) and the King Edward variety of potato which has fed the British working class for almost as long). The potato, unlike the royal family, reproduces asexually. Every King Edward potato is identical to every other and each on has the same set of genes as the hoary ancestor of all potatoes bearing that name. This is convenient for the farmer and the grocer, which is why sex is not encouraged among potatoes.”
― Steve Jones, The Language of Genes: Solving the Mysteries of Our Genetic Past, Present and Future

“In a lot of ways that poor little potato' â€� Evan pointed directly at Jade’s French fries â€� 'symbolizes the reckless consumerism that plagues America.”

“Looks delicious," he lied. "A mite crispy along the edges - but then, I like it that way."

Incredulous eyes met his own. "You like your potatoes burned?"

Ah, so he'd been right about that. If he could still recognize what it was she'd cooked, then surely he could eat it.”
― Tracy Anne Warren, The Wife Trap
