Cypriot potatoes are famous, especially those grown in the area of Famagusta.
The community council of Xylofagos decided to place at the entrance of the village on the Larnaca - Ayia Napa highway a huge monument to "honour" the local product.
The project was discussed on social media as many deemed it to be a fake, they were unable to believe in the design and considered it to be in bad taste.
The now-famous potato has been given some Christmas love.
