How to get a Poisonous Potato in Survival Mode

You can add a poisonous potato to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a village and gathering the potato from the village gardens. So, let's get started!

1. Find a Village

Villages are found in different biomes in Minecraft. Here is an example of what some of the villages look like:

Plains Village

Desert Village

2. Look for the Gardens within the Village

Once you've found a village, look for the gardens in the village. It is within the gardens that you will find rows of potatos to dig up. Most of the time, you will get potatoes when you dig up the potato plants. But every once in a while, you will be lucky and get a poisonous potato as a drop.
