Default Volunteers in compost bin!

I've noticed today that I've a volunteer potato plant growing in my compost bin. One of the shoots has come out of a ventilation hole in the side and is growing sneakily up the back where I didn't see it until it was already huge!

Can't decide whether to let it do its thing and harvest the spuds, or whether to rip it out - I had wanted to put the compost I am making on a bed where I am going to grow tomatoes next year! Oh dear...
