THEY grow big and wild down the Huon, and potatoes are no exception.
Retired orcharding consultant and farmer Ernie Crouch, 73, was digging spuds when he unearthed one more like a man than a tuber.
Mr Crouch was amazed the potato emerged intact after being lifted from the ground by his tractor. "Tassie Tater" has two arms, two legs, a body, head and small nose.
Sprouts stick out the top of Tassie's head.
"He did have whiskers but they broke off," Mr Crouch said.
The spud is a Glenvale and the Huon farmer has yet to decide whether the potato will end up as chips or used as seed.
