    I'd prefer one of those guns that shoots mini-marshmallows.

    I like this idea, if only because 1) you can eat the marshmallows, whereas raw potato chunks are nasty and 2) small chunks of potato around the house are more likely to get old, moldy, or gross.

    No one ever questions an old marshmallow.

    did you know that a slice of potato slipped into a planter is a great way to attract the bugs in the plant and have a convenient way to just pick them all up at once and throw them away.

    It's a horrible thing to waste potatoes.

    Can you shoot something like creamed asparagus?

    might as well be cream of potato soup.

    I'm not sure how that would work.

    Money doesn't grow on trees!!! But potatoes do (plants, anyway) :) It's a potato. She isn't wasting it, she's repurposing it. Plant some, and you will have more than you know what to do with anyway.

    Whether home grown or not. Waste is waste.

    Get your daughter a spud gun, better yet build one with her. You don't sit on the couch and shoot each other so, she will be active, and you can use it to watermelon rinds if your worried about the potato. Also is it really waste if its used?

    Hmmm. No watermelon here but some good ideas.
