[edit] Farming
- Main article: Tutorials/Potato Farming
Potatoes can be farmed and harvested on farmland, the same way as farming wheat and carrots. When farmed, they will take 8 stages to grow. However, every two stages has the same texture, so only 4 stages are seen. Fully grown potato crops drop 1 to 4 potatoes and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional poisonous potato. As of Minecraft 1.5, potato yield can now be increased using a tool with the Fortune enchantment; previously Fortune had no effect on potatoes. Currently, potatoes can be found as a rare drop from zombies and also in NPC Villages alongside wheat and carrots.[1] Bone meal can be used to mature the potato to its last stage of growth (as of 1.5, it may take a few applications of bone meal).
[edit] As a cooking ingredient
Baked potatoes can be obtained by cooking the raw potatoes in an oven with some kind of fuel.
