It's a bit more complicated than that

Today, my dad learned that it's possible to power a lightbulb with a potato. Since then, he's been going around the house removing all the plugs from the wall and plugging them into potatoes instead. He's absolutely baffled as to why it won't work. FML

Potatoes might be able to conduct electricity, but flaming tacos can do so much more.

All I can imagine is some guy with a Cornish accent going "Ere, now oi just can't get why this won't work". It's too early for this shit.

Yes because people from Devon speak with Cornish accents. Makes sense.

Sounds like a Latvian potato experiment. Two Latvian look at clouds. One see potato. Other see impossible dream.

The potato only acts as an insulator, it has no conducting ability.
