Card description
"I'm starchy and explosive!"

Strategies
Potato Mine is fairly similar to Bungee Plumber in that both can be used to snipe low health units. Potato Mine is also useful for absorbing a single hit for allied plants and protect them from powerful zombies, but keep in mind that this will not work against zombies with the Frenzy effect, unless the Zombie has less than 2 Health before blowing up. Spineapple can be used to give Potato Mine a strength boost.

Counters
When the Plant Hero places this plant on a lane with a zombie, use Sumo Wrestler, Terrify or Rodeo Gargantuar to move it away. However, keep in mind that doing a bonus attack will not help at all, it will just trigger the Potato Mine's effect sooner. But just like Prickly Pear, this plant's effect can only deal damage to the zombie fighters, not the Zombie Hero, so destroying it when there are no zombies on its lane is a good idea. Armored zombies, especially the Knight of the Living Dead, are also a choice as well.

Trivia

 * Every time the light on top of the Potato Mine flashes, a timer-like sound will be heard.
 * When it explodes, it says "SPUD-OW!" instead of "SPUDOW!" in Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies 2.
