Mr. Potato Head was invented by George Lerner in the early 1950s. Lerner would often take potatoes from his mother's garden and using various other fruits and vegetables as facial features, he would make dolls with which his younger sisters could play. The grape-eyed, carrot-nosed, potato-headed dolls became the principal idea behind the plastic toy which would later be manufactured.

Mr. Potato Head is a popular children's toy, first sold in 1952 by Hasbro,[1] consisting of a plastic model of a potato which can be decorated with attachable plastic parts, such as a mustache, hat and nose, to make a face. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Potato_Head
