Potatos are a food crop in Minecraft that can be grown by planting them on farmland . Once fully grown, breaking the crop yields 1-4 Potatos , making them a renewable and efficient food source.
Potatos can be eaten raw, though they only restore one hunger point . Cooking them in a furnace, smoker, or campfire turns them into baked Potatos , which provide much better hunger restoration. There is also a chance to harvest poisonous Potatos , which can be eaten but have a chance to inflict the Poison effect for a few seconds.
Potatos are naturally found in village farms and can also be obtained as a rare drop from zombies, husks, and zombie villagers . They are useful for farming, trading with farmer villagers , and as a reliable mid-game food source.
