To create a "potato battery", insert two different metals, such as an iron nail and a copper nail, into the potato, then connect the two nails with copper or aluminum wire to a low-voltage bulb or voltmeter or similar device. You won't get much power for too long, but you could make lots of potato batteries and attach them in series to get more power (voltage), or in parallel to get more current (amperage). Or, you could burn a bunch of dry potatoes, and use the heat energy to run a turbine, which could produce electricity, albeit, indirectly.
~0.5v 0.1mA unboiled
~1v 1mA boiled
P.S. Don't use this site for science. I put the correct answer in (which BTW the previous one was blatantly wrong, with over 20 people apparently saying it's correct, it seems like all the fake science answers have this problem ... with the exact same amount of people agreeing ... hmm...), THEN was told I had to register. After trying to register it failed, but I could sign in anyways. After signing in it erased my answer (seriously, my answer was there, I could see it during my entire registration, upon finishing the page promptly refreshed and erased my answer), luckily I assumed this was a shltty website and backed up my answer. tl;dr most people who are actually qualified to answer this sort of question rarely bother with crap websites like this.
a potato can indeed produce electricity. that is if you have a copper and zinc rod. the citric acid in the potato will serve as the pathway for the electrons of zinc to flow to copper. since there is flow of electrons that means that there is indeed electricity..
It can conduct electricity because of the electrical currents inside the potato.
Yes. Stick a wire in it and then the wire on a mini light, do it again with the same light, the light will light up.
The copper and zinc make ions.
it has a high pH level...
Yes my house is powered by potatoes.
yes
Potatoes can conduct electricity

Lemons are more acidic than potatoes, which allows them to produce more electrons and generate a higher voltage in an electrolyte solution. This higher acidity helps lemons to have a higher power output compared to potatoes when used in a lemon battery experiment.
potato battery do not directly produce electricity. The chemical composition of the potato when combined with zinc in metals together with copper is what causes a reaction between the released positively charged and negatively charged ions of the potato resulting in the flow of electricity.

Potatoes, like lemons, have a small amount of acid that conducts electricity, but only for a very small light bulb Potatoes, like lemons, have a small amount of acid that produces eletricity for a very small light source.
i know potato's make electricity but i don't know about apples
Irish potatoes do have more electricity!They are also the yummiest!
Yes, in fact a "Potato" is a great conductor of electricity.
a little less than one volt will be produced with each potato

what is a turbine and how does it produce electricity.
