Cut a 12-18 inch long piece of carpet thread. (If you don't have carpet thread any heavier thread should work.) Thread needle and tie knot on opposite end of thread.  Secure thread in potato and randomly make small stitches, pulling tight after each stitch. This is how you make the cute little dimples. Make as few or as many dimples as you like.
