For a list of all seed-related items, see Seeds (Disambiguation).

A potato is a farmable food source that was released in Java Edition 1.4.2 and Bedrock Edition Alpha 0.8.0. It is one of the six crops that grow on tilled farmland. Potatoes have three states: raw potatoes, baked potatoes, and poisonous potatoes. When planted, potatoes grow similarly to wheat. To plant potatoes, right-click on farmland with a potato in hand since the seed is the potato itself. When potatoes are cooked via a furnace/smoker/campfire, they will turn into baked potatoes.

Obtaining[]

A fully grown potato plant can drop up to four potatoes and have a 2% chance of additionally dropping a poisonous potato. Potatoes have a 0.8% chance of being dropped by a zombie when it is killed. Potato plants can be found on about 20% of village farmland plots.
