It was a social experiment to see just how famous One Direction could make a potato. And it worked.
The snap, which was posted to Instagram captioned "Welcoming the newest member of our family. The One D Potato - @The1DPotato. Backstage @jimmykimmel", got over 455,000 likes.
The potato now has over 90,000 followers on Instagram, and can be seen hanging out with Kimmel and Guillermo backstage.
