You take the sheep first leaving the lion and potato. Then you come back for the lion, take the sheep back with you and drop it off. Then you take the potato with the lion and leave the sheep there. After, you come back for the sheep and take it with the rest. Voila!

since the answer has already been given I am going to fool around, and say throw the potato to the other side, and then take the lion and then come back for the sheep. ^_^
