A raw potato is a vegetable primarily used as an ingredient in Cooking. Raw potatoes are required for crafting baked potatoes, stews, admiral pies, and fish pies.

Raw potatoes can be picked from potato plants. In addition, they can be harvested from a potato plant grown from 3 potato seeds in an allotment patch, requiring level 1 Farming. A minimum of three potatoes are harvested at a time.

Up to ten raw potatoes can be stored in the empty sack to form a sack of potatoes (10), and players can store potatoes within multiple sacks. A sack of potatoes (10) can be paid to a gardener to look after a patch of onion plant. Also, a sack of potatoes (10) is a requirement for Enlightened Journey, as well as Mourning's End Part II if completing Thorgel's item list.

Trivia

• Before the Troll Warzone update, if a player attempted to cook a potato on a fire or at the sulphur pit, the potatoes would always burn regardless of Cooking level, resulting in a burnt potato. Attempting to cook a potato with these methods now gives the message "You can't cook that in a fire."
• Although they can no longer be eaten raw, they can still be fed to the starving adventurers in the Temple Trekking minigame, as well as Cyrisus in the Dream Mentor quest.
