Potatoes
Potatoes — humble, sustaining, dug from the earth — often touch good fortune, with success in digging, gain in eating, and vanished pleasure in seeing them rot. The dream may ask where plain, nourishing plenty is feeding your life, and whether the staple goods of your circumstances are sound or quietly spoiling out of sight.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for potatoes, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Dreaming of potatoes, brings incidents often of good.
To dream of digging them, denotes success.
To dream of eating them, you will enjoy substantial gain.
To cook them, congenial employment.
Planting them, brings realization of desires.
To see them rotting, denotes vanished pleasure and a darkening future.
