The [ classified ], commonly known as the Potato Hat, is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a white hard hat with a Template:W miner's light with a team-colored glow based on the game Portal's colors, blue and orange, connected by two insulated orange wires. The far side of the hat sports two pieces of grey electrical tape covering an unknown circular logo.

This hat is awarded to players who have bought the Potato Sack pack, or own all the games from the pack. It first became available with the April 5, 2011 Patch and can be obtained until the release of Portal 2.
