About Potato
The Potato is a free-to-play food item in Old School RuneScape.
"This could be used to make a good stew"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 18 and 23 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 20 gp. About 279,236 units changed hands per day. The price is down 21.7% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 95.0% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
