===== Magical Uses =====
Potatoes are often used as poppets, and the "eyes" can be used as eyes in fashioning other kinds of poppets.

A potato carried in the pocket cures toothaches and guards against rheumatism, warts, and gout. To protect against contracting a cold, a potato should be carried in the pocket or purse all winter--the same potato.
