Mr. Potato Head

Spud with accessories

Mr.

Potato Head is a toy consisting of a plastic potato-shaped body with holes for inserting detachable facial features and accessories—eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hat, arms.

Originally sold as parts meant to be stuck into real potatoes, the toy has been manufactured with a plastic body since 1964.

The name evokes someone whose features seem mismatched or rearrangeable: He looked like Mr. Potato Head after the surgery.
