Why are those things on potatoes called eyes? My nine-year-old’s
inquiring mind wanted to know, and, well, I did too.
I did a bit of research and
apparently if you look at a potato there should be an “eye” bud and an “eyebrow”
or a vestigial leaf. So maybe the next time you look at a potato, try squinting
and leaning your head to one side and maybe you’ll see the eye and eyebrow :)
