Everyone loves a Twitter troll… But what if that troll was actually a potato? Our potatoes are going to start forming their personalities and sharing it on the internet by:

• Sassing up other people’s recipes 

• Giving their unsolicited opinions on other veggies

• Setting the record on who’s the best vegetable 

And the most important thing: the potato is a very sassy and dramatic vegetable.

The Potato; to be or not to be? That is the question.

In a world where everything is either a potato or not a potato, what does it really mean to be a potato? The potato has been around for so long, it’s definitely experienced quite a bit. From the Fall of the Roman Empire to the first man on the moon the potato has seen it all. 

Enter The Potato Diaries, a rare account of potatoes and their experiences. Whether it’s mundane life on the farm to setting sail across the Atlantic they’ve got something to say.   

And she is a drama queen. 

Old Man Gold

The Yukon Gold Potato

Old Man Gold is the old man we all love to hate. Midwestern to the core, he rolled under a prairie house back in 1926 and hasn’t moved since. “Back in my day” is his favorite phrase to yell at anyone who will listen, and he won’t ever let you forget he’s the sole surviving potato of the Dust Bowl. He may be sprouty and a bit of a curmudgeon but with 96 years of unsolicited opinions under his belt, he has a lot of wisdom. What can we say, life on the farm I guess. 

Violet aka V

The Vitelotte Potato

Violet is a classy, haughty french potato from Paris with the sex appeal of a yam. She once sat for Van Gogh and claims to have been his muse for a time. As an elusive purple potato, she holds a certain mystique you won’t find anywhere else. With an exclusive front row seat to the art scene, Violet has quite a lot to say about her time in Paris– from Van Gogh to Cezanne she’s seen it all.

Russell

The Russett Potato

Have you ever heard of “With a Little Help From My Friends”? Well, according to Russell, he’s the inspiration behind that massive Beatle hit. As the self proclaimed fifth Beatle, Russell is from Liverpool and was picked up by the band on tour after a pop down to the grocer’s for a quick snack. He toured with them, claiming to have inspired their rapid success, and even witnessed Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s first kiss. Juicy stuff, Russell.    

Frank and Fiona

The Fingerling Potatoes

We all know that one couple… on again.. off again..on again? But with Frank and Fiona they literally cannot separate.. They’re a joint potato. In one of their off again phases Frank cheated with Broccoli, dabbled with Kale, and even tried to pick up some Cauliflower. But. Frank knows where he belongs now. Back with his potato queen, Fiona. Even with the sad excuse that “everyone was doing it!”, when Kale was queen, he ended up crawling right back. Frank learned his lesson, Fiona is everything he ever wanted and needed…until next week. 

They’ll keep you posted.
