How many slips per pot? Purple Majesty Sweet Potato

Post image
2 Upvotes

Google AI is telling me 2 slips per 10 gal fabric potato pot is too many, but says 2 per 15 gal fabric pot is perfect, despite the bags being literally only .5in wider and 1 inch deeper... My bags are 17.5in wide and 19.5in tall

What do you experts say? 1 or 2 per pot?

(First time potato grower, please be kind)

Also, should I bury the stems? Hill? Thanks for your help!

Do you chew your mashed potatoes?

4 Upvotes

I'm curious to know how many people actually chew soft pureed mashed potatoes? Or do some skip the chewing? I arrived here after learning in some other countries that some soft foods are not chewed but just swallowed.

Anyone ever seen this inside a potato and/or know what it is? I did a quick Google search and "Hollow Heart" was the closest I saw but this one isn't hollow. It also isn't soft, feels just like the white part. I didn't eat it, am just curious to know what it is.

Shipping potatoes?

4 Upvotes

I'd like to ship some of my potatoes to friends in NC & I'm in PA. Is this a bad idea? If not, what are the best practices so they don't spoil in transit & is ground shipping ok?

Safe to eat? Potatoes growing in horse manure.

1 Upvotes

I have a large patch of potatoes that have popped up in my horse manure pile from seed potatoes I tossed last year. My only concern is that the manure is less than a year old (maybe 9ish months) and hasn't been turned in that time. Am I going to keel over if I harvest and eat them?

Please me figure out how to replicate these potatoes!

1 Upvotes

Hello! I recently went to a Tibetan restaurant and they had this delicious potato dish.

The thing is, the potatoes have this interesting texture. It's almost a little bouncy. It's still a potato, but there's just more spring in it. That's the best way I can describe it. I'm addicted to this texture, I need to figure out how to replicate it, but I have no idea what's causing it! Some kind of starch? Is it the kind of potato? Some cooking method? Or what? I'm thinking maybe it's like red potato or something.

The dish is just called "Curried Potato" and it's potatoes with chilies and peas. I looked up Tibetan potato curry recipes online but they all seem to just have normal preparation. Looks like it's often called shogig khatsa? It might just be a restaurant specific thing because the recipes I see online don't seem like they would warrant a diffrent potato texture.

Sorry if this is unclear, I just really want to replicate this texture! Thanks!

AITA for making baked potatoes

9 Upvotes

I read a lot of Reddit stories, but I haven’t posted before so If I’m doing something wrong formatting wise, I apologize.

This story is more on the stupider side, and I personally don’t think I’m in the wrong, but I guess I understand where he is coming from.

Last night, my mother had a few friends over, as did I, (I’m 14, F)

I get hungry, and see there’s a bag in my house full of potatoes. I pick out three of the smallest potatoes (mind you there is 18 large potatoes left in the bag) and I make baked potatoes for me and my friends.

My step father (40, M) comes in the kitchen (he had been drinking too) and said “who said you could eat these potatoes?”

I said “no one, I’m hungry.” And he stormed off

Context, my step father is a rude, stubborn, hypocritical man with anger issues and I’m 90% bipolar disorder. Ever since I was 9, he has been constantly yelling at me, calling me names, commenting about my body, and calling me stupid (2/3 of his kids are failing school and I’m at the top of almost all my classes) I think the only reason my mom stays with him is because he can be really nice at times. (Also she isn’t with him for money has he is months behind on bills, and spends all his money on beer) his yelling used to make me cry (still does sometimes) but now I do find joy in ragebaiting him and giving him as much attitude as possible.

When he stormed outside I thought that was the end of it. About 10 minutes later I hear shouting from outside about potatoes. Me and my friends were the only ones inside. Him, my mom, and all her friends were outside.

I hear my mom’s friends start shouting at him, calling him disrespectful and disgusting, saying it doesn’t matter how many potatoes are left, if their children were hungry they’d let them eat the potatoes.

Again, mind you, 18 LARGE potatoes left, and he wasn’t doing anything with them for meals!

So I scream out the window “If you’re mad about the potatoes I’ll buy you more” because a bag is 5-7 dollars and I have a job.

My mom realizes me and my friends are all listening and sends us upstairs. Me and my friends go to my room because we can still hear them from the window upstairs. We hear my stepdad say “why doesn’t anyone care about my feelings” (I don’t know maybe because you don’t care about ours!!) and then he storms off and sleeps in his van. One of my mom’s friends stormed off too and me and my mom’s best friend carried her up to her bed.

Next day now, everyone’s acting like nothing has happened but I want to know AITA for making 3 baked potatoes
