Comments on the clue
1.I like the potato joke
2.I would have preferred 'e.g.' in place of 'for example' to avoid that intrusive first comma – otherwise excellent.
3.The best of the potato clues, but start a bit clunky & a pity, from the point of view of the surface, about the necessary "for example".
