Spud, and maybe Pat too (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

potato

'spud' is the definition.
(I know that spud can be written as potato)

'maybe pat too' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pat'+'too'='pattoo'
'pattoo' anagrammed gives 'POTATO'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for potato that I've seen before include "A plant; hole in sock (colloq.)" , "Plant tuber eaten as a vegetable" , "Edible tuber; hole in stocking (colloq.)" , "It's often baked" , "The veg is too apt, oddly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
