Adorable little boy really, really loves potatoes

Potatoes + this boy = true love.

While some toddlers might not even realize that dirty potatoes are what french fries are made out of, one little boy is clearly well aware.

Twitterer Sarah Coates shared a photo of her younger brother lusting after the starchy vegetable in a pretty impressive way. He latched his little hands on the counter, leaving his feet dangling off the ground and his mouth agape at the sight of the taters.

"Get you someone who looks at you the way my brother looks at potatoes," Coates captioned the photo.

If this cutie's family keeps putting delicious food up high on the counter, we think he'll eventually become a pull-up champion.
