This spud is a stud!

.

Famed photographer Kevin Abosch is known for his stunning portraits of Johnny Depp, Steven Spielberg, Malala Yousafzai and now — a potato.

.

Abosch's recent portrait of an organic potato against a black backdrop sold to a European businessman for a whopping $1 million.

.

The Irish photographer said the price tag might seem "absurd,” but that it's not the first time someone has purchased the art right off his wall.

"We had two glasses of wine and he [the businessman] said, 'I really like that,'" Abosch told the Sunday Times. "Two more glasses of wine and he said: 'I really want that.' "

.

The $1 million (or $750,000 pounds) was the most Abosch has ever been paid for a piece of work that wasn't commissioned.

.

Abosch's portraits are popular among the wealthy and many are considered collectors' items. His commissioned works often start at nearly $300,000.

.

A series of 250 portraits of people from Ireland, known as "Faces of Ireland," launched in 2011 as one of Abosch's most prominent projects.

NO!!!

It does look like an asteriod in space, so in some deep philosical way it connects us all to the universe expressing a deeper inner meaning that goes beyond the mere potato but to the futility of mankinds endeavor to explore deeper not only in space or within the earth but within himself, yet in its symbol it is the embodiment of life, this life giving force.

Okay, I quit my boots aren't high enough. Too bad maybe I could have spun that into a few hundred grand for myself.
