Staff at The Potato Shop in Small Hythe Road, Tenterden, make Rudolph from spuds

Shop staff have turned their potatoes into a sculpture of Rudolph.

The Potato Shop in Small Hythe Road, Tenterden, stocks 35 varieties of the humble vegetable and decided to have some festive fun with their multi-coloured spuds.

The reindeer's bright red nose is a Rudolph potato, which has a deep red skin and a white-fleshed middle.

Its cute antlers are the pink fir variety and Violetta, which is an indigo-blue spud, represent the eyes.

An extra large baker makes up Rudolph's face.

Nicki Crawley, The Potato Shop’s manager, who sells her specialist spuds to restaurants up and down the country via Covent Garden market, said: "It was just a bit of fun and we put our pictures on social media.

"Rudolph potatoes can be baked or roasted, so could be used for Christmas dinner."
