Help me internet, you're my only hope

So, solve a little dispute between me and a coworker. In Gone with the Wind, when Scarlett pulls some sort of root vegetable out of the ground and does the whole "as God is my witness" speech, what is the root vegetable? I say potato. He says radish, which is ridiculous. Preliminary internet searches have not been fruitful.

TRUST ME.

IT'S A RADISH.

(If I know one thing, it's obscure pop cultural references)

Oh, I believe you. Still, when you watch the tape, it's a big ass radish. However, what is most clear is that is in no way a potato.
