A poisonous potato is a type of potato that can poison the player.

Obtaining

The poisonous potato is a rare drop when harvesting (destroying) potato plants: a fully grown plant has a 2% chance of dropping one in addition to the 1–4 regular potatoes. This is a reference to real world potatoes, which are poisonous when they are green.
