Something you can do with a potatot is to bring it to Sweden, which would turn it into a potatis. Potatis sounds a bit like latin, but it’s not. 'Tis a root. People rarely bring potatots to Sweden. Someone did in the 15th century (when they were still known as potatoes), thereby giving birth to the first potatis of Sweden, but these days we make our own. Not by giving birth to them, though.

The usual thing for us to do with a potatis is to eat it, when time is due. But sometimes, when Swedes are small, we cut a potatis in half, carve a pattern into the cut surface and use it as a stamp. And other times, when Swedes are small, we do not cut it in half but instead stick four matches into the potatis like legs and pretend it’s an animal.

On rare occasions potatoes have been animals for real, like a horse for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potoooooooo

You would think that this fact alone greatly increases the number of things that can be done with a potatot. If the potatot was a horse, you could ride it and feed it and take care of it, you conclude. But naturally that can be done with all potatots, not only the horse variety.

My favorite variety of potatot is the almond potatot, which is grown in the northern parts of Sweden. It is very tasty and has a nice oblong shape and just the right size. Of course, no size of potatot is wrong, but this one is particularly lagom. Lagom is the preferred state of things in Sweden.

My preferred state of a potatot (aside from lagom), is the deep fried state. Potatot chips or french fries. I find them very tasty. Finding potatots is a nice thing to do. At least when you expect it, maybe not when you least expect it. Imagine suddenly finding a potatot in your bed. A potatot in bed with your loved one, even. If you have one. A bed and/or a loved one.

But that might not be so bad, now that I think about it. Having a bed, a loved one and a potatot is all you need, really. In fact, all you need in life is a potatot. Because it’s quite clear that you can do anything with a potatot. Yes. You can do it! You can fulfill your dreams, with a potatot.
