Potato season is in full bloom, and they're appearing in pies, casseroles, and roasts all over the country. However, the power of the potato doesn’t end at the dinner table. When they’re not busy flying around rooms or sitting on the couch, they have proved themselves to be the real MVPs.

1. Like that time you got your wisdom teeth pulled and couldn’t eat for days. The solution? Two words:

God bless.

2. For being the best motivational picture on your camera roll.

Hot potato. Literally.

3. For always being there for Kelly when she needed something to lean on.

Thirty years and going strong.

4. For being the inspiration for parents who are fresh out of costume ideas.

5. That time Crayola needed inspiration for naming their new marker.

Pure elegance.

6. For being the perfect way to describe just about anything.

I can only hope that I will someday be described as soft and warm like "mashpotatos.”

7. For making teenage girls around the country so happy.

Joy. Just pure joy.

8. For providing Doge with the perfect body.

9. For ending the 1D split up crisis and healing teenage girls’ hearts all over the country.

10. Sweet. Potato. Fries.

No explanation needed.

Clearly, there’s a reason that potatoes are Michelle Obama’s favorite fall vegetable. Thanks, potato, for all that you do for us. You da real MVP.
