Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Generated loot[edit | edit source]

Item	Structure	Container	Quantity	Chance
Java Edition and Bedrock Edition
Poisonous Potato	Shipwreck	Supply chest	2–6	42.1% { "item": "Poisonous Potato", "stacksize": "2–6", "chance": 0.42061090139687074, "structure": "Shipwreck", "container": "Supply chest" }

Farming[edit | edit source]

The poisonous potato is a rare drop when harvesting (destroying) potato crops; a fully grown plant has a 2% chance of dropping one in addition to the 2-5 regular potatoes.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Poisonous potatoes cannot be planted on farmland or baked. They also have no use with the composter.^[1]

Food[edit | edit source]

To eat a poisonous potato, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 2 () hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation and has a 60% chance of applying 5 seconds of Poison I, draining 4 points of health. Interestingly, a poisonous potato actually restores double the hunger and saturation than a normal, unpoisoned potato. (A normal potato gives 1 () hunger and 0.6 saturation points.)
