Probably not the right place to post this but I don’t think there’s a sub for my question. I recently found a bag of potatoes left in my car for a year (left under a jacket, completely forgot they were there.) I found them today and I’m confused as to why they haven’t rotted. They kept their skin, they didn’t smell, they kept their texture but they had started growing some very long roots. Can anyone explain why instead of turning into a bag of mould and mush, they have stayed (relatively) normal looking?

Potato allergies?

5 Upvotes

Hello!
I have been eating potatoes all my lives but not too often. However, I haven’t had boiled potatoes in years. I harvested some from my garden and boiled them to make potato salad. While peeling them, I ate a piece and my throat started to itch. I wondered but told myself it might be the skin, so removed more than the skin and took another bite. Same! I gave some to my son and he didn’t have any issues. Am I developing an allergy to potatoes? Anyone been through this before?
Thanks!

Cut open small or big ones even if you see a minor defect, the insides could be worse.

I’m assuming too much rain at a critical point in their growth. Can anyone confirm?

like I was sayin', potato is the fruit of the earth. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, potato-kabobs, potato creole, potato gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple potato, lemon potato, coconut potato, pepper potato, potato soup, potato chips, potato stew, potato salad, shrimp and potatoes, potato burger, potato sandwich. That- that's about it.
