A SCHOOL cook was left in a potato plight when she discovered a spud shaped like a love heart.
Primary school kitchen assistant Paula Fennell, 43, found the tender tuber as she was making mash for youngsters to go with their chicken pies.
But she was so stunned by the passionate pomme de terre she did not have the heart to crush it, so put it on display in the canteen instead.
And it will now feature in the newsletter for Woolenwick Infant and Nursery School, Stevenage, Herts.
This is not Paula’s first sensuous spud. She found another shaped like a heart while cooking the same meal for the pupils last year.
Married mum-of-three Paula, of Stevenage, told The Sun the find had given her strength when the chips were down.
She said: “It’s like a sign.
“I’ve been having some hard times in my life recently and this cheered me up.
“All the kids at school have seen the potato and they love it.
