Last of vegetables, sweet potato (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spud

'potato' is the definition.
(spud can informally mean potato)

'last of vegetables sweet' is the wordplay.
'last of' says to take the final letters.
'sweet' becomes 'pud' (pud is a kind of sweet).
The last letter of 'vegetables' is 's'.
's'+'pud'='SPUD'

(Other definitions for spud that I've seen before include "short, stocky person" , "Spade; potato (slang)" , "Vegetable" , "Weed spade" , "veg" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
