Fresh potato

 is a food item found in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. It can restore some of your hit points, without giving any radiation. In "Fallout: New Vegas", it is used in the recipe "Cook-Cook's Fiend Stew".


 * Sold by Westside Co-op, and Boomer Chefs in fairly large amounts


 * One can be found in Pinkerton's Lab, in the broken bow of Rivet City.
 * Ten are in the Rivet City Science Lab, though taking them is a crime. Dogmeat can get them for you with no karma penalty.
 * If you wait (manually, not by Waiting), Janice Kaplinski will eat the ones in the lab.
 * You can also wait until everyone in the lab has gone to the Jefferson Memorial or the Citadel and steal the fresh food without fear of witnesses.
 * The scientists have a large stock of fresh fruit and vegetables, and will say, "Be careful, that's stuff worth more than you" or "Don't touch the vegetables, they're fragile."
 * In the Rivet City Science Lab, one of the potatoes has no owner and can thus be taken without negative karma. It is on the table with the Bobblehead - Intelligence and is the closest of three potatoes to the test tube racks.
