Default Potato Shape Means ????

Not hard for me to wake up in the morning thinking about potatoes,and
mainly there shape. In space my mind relates to Mars moons Phobos,and
Deimos. they are asteroids. and are 10,and 5 miles across. The reason
they are not globular,or even close,is obvious they don't have a strong
enough gravity pull to overcome the rigidity of their structure. When
cooling from a liquid state(very fast) they took on the shape of a
potato.(why I don't know)


Maybe Phobos and Deimos are potato shaped because they are artificial.
Just a thought.
