Potatoes never go bad. They just start the process of turning into more potatoes.
potatoes definitely do rot and the smell is so horrific it can only be the results of failed potato genetics
Yea, I have a pretty bad sense of smell and that’s one of the few things I can instantly recognize. Gotta play find the squishy potato when I smell it.
Rotten potatoes smell somewhere between raw sewage and demon anus
Some potatoes went bad in my kitchen a few days ago, it smelled like actual human shit. Grim
It smells like a partially decomposed corpse. I don’t know what a corpse smells like, but I believe them. It’s awful.
The green dust is also toxic to breathe in.
I recently had the pleasure of shoveling a rotting bag of potatoes out of my pantry. Likely the worst smell I have ever witnessed, nothing compares.
Rotting onions compare.
Try slow cooking rancid beefribs for 3 days susevide then putting a rack in an air fryer to see if it ‘might mask the stench.’ Our neighbors were dry heaving. House smelled worse than a civil war hospital for weeks.
Also try burning the crap out of mole sauce for like 3 hours.
…exactly how stubborn are you about not throwing food out? 😄
[clap clap clap] “Oh, good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that.”
When portal three 😔
The cake is a lie.
Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they’re a vegetable, so you can tell someone you’re eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald’s for some frenchy fries
wdym a ‘complete protein’
There are several essential amino acids we need to survive but don’t produce in our bodies. No plant has all of those amino acids, but every animal product does. You can get complete plant protein by consuming multiple different plants, so if a vegan has a varied diet they’re usually fine.
Also, animal meat maybe, but not every animal product contains a complete protein profile.
There are a few plants with a complete amino acid profile: quinoa, soy, amaranth or buckwheat. But as you said, a varied diet is better.
They’re only nutritious if you eat the skin. If you peel them (like McDondald’s does with their fries) then they’re just empty carbs.
That’s an urban legend, most of what you lose in the skin is fiber. The skin and the interior of the tuber both contain all your micronutrients

Cooking potatoes with skin is still somewhat more nutritious than cooking them without (unless you’re keeping the water for something else, some use it for stuff like pasta)
Tastier, too, IMO
Totally! Fiber is good for you.
I mean, in fairness, “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.
But they’re a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!
I’ve always used the definition of a vegetable being an integral part of a plant, like a root, rather than a fruiting seed pod evolved to be consumed by animals
The frying is the questionable part. (Well, the french part too but…)
Still vegetables! Everyone knows that a nice dinner at a Chinese buffet is healthy if you eat a few green beans lmao
A succulent Chinese meal?!?
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!!
Don’t worry, the french part is not literal.
They really are a miracle food. And they make every dish better.
The photo is terrifying.
Biblically accurate potato
“Be not
afraidhungry.”Behold the Tuberphim!
They say don’t put them in the fridge but yeah I do.
As a communist that is also of Irish descent, and absolutely loves potato based dishes, I feel like this meme is specifically crafted for me.
The potato found you
The potato liberated them.
Potato… right. Anyone handy with the flamethrower?
I’m pretty handy with the airfryer
Didn’t know they sold walking sentient fleshlight’s
That is probably the last thing you would want to use as a fleshlight.
Why? We making baked potatoes?
potatoes find a way

Potatoes revolutionized human agriculture once we discovered which parts of the plants weren’t poisonous. Unlike the human standard before that point, mostly grains, Potatoes can grow even on slopes and mildly rocky terrain.
If this is a stupid question feel free to call me retarted but is that actually how potatoes find the soil?
I guess so but they grow underground so it shouldn’t be this hard for them to find soil.
not a stupid question, and the answer is yes! potatoes are really resilient. you can reproduce them by cutting off and planting their ‘eyes’ (sorry, that’s the word for it - eww), and they also contain a ton of energy that lets them reach out like something from a nightmare.
i once forgot about a bag of potatoes i bought and left under the kitchen sink for a while. it was like a scene from a Cronenberg movie when i found it
Potatoes are fucking immortal, I recovered some of last year’s from a planter whose soil was so dry it was almost sand, planted them again, watered them and they immediately sprouted vines and leaves.
That’s because this is pretty much their natural lifecycle. They’re native to the Andes, where cold, dry weather is kind of the norm.
It’s heading for the screen in the upper right to google for soil.
Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.
Tire stack… Start growing in a tire or right on the ground. As soon as it’s taller than the next available tire take that tire place it on the stack and bury the plant until there’s just a couple of leaves above ground. Everything you buried be gentle will root out and become space for more spuds. When it grows up taller than another tire rinse and repeat until you have a stack of tires when you’re ready to harvest just start knocking the tires over one by one. Works well to line them with plastic as well if you can
I’m not sure I want something that’s going into my mouth growing inside old tires.
Yeah dude it’s fine, you also mix used motor oil into the soil and it acts as a good pesticide.
Do you prefer your potatoes leaded or unleaded?
Well since I’m too cheap to fix my knocking issues, better go with leaded
Ive done a similar thing with squares made out of 2x4’s.
I’ve recently heard of some people living near the coast, carrying on an old local tradition of simply growing potatoes in seaweed instead of soil, adding a natural salty taste to them.
Can confirm. Started potatoes in a grow-bag last year, did another round this year. The bag doesn’t hold a ton of soil, but it was apparently enough to turn 5 seed potatoes into a few kilos of harvest
Tell that to the Irish.
The Irish’s problem wasn’t that they weren’t growing enough food. Their problem is that Britain was taking all the food they did grow.
TBF you can’t grow potatoes in land that the British have kicked you off of.
you had me at “can’t grow potatoes”
Now I’m scared to eat potatoes what if it grows in my stomach
That’s why you stab them with a knife
Your stomach contains some of the strongest acid in nature, thanks to ancestors who were scavengers. The potato has no chance
Well, even though gastric acid(mostly hydrochloric acid) in our stomach does have a relatively low pH, it is very diluted, so in practice it just kills germs and stuff and won’t obliterate everything going inside you
It’s great at breaking down meat and fat (fresh or rather past it)
Infinite food
Infinite eyes
“As you once did for the vacuous Rom, Grant us eyes! Grant us eyes.”
Ahhhh, potato scented hunter.
It’s easy, just make sure you don’t have any soil based condiments on the side.
Then you will just be assimilated
Can I resist?
You can if you want, but it’s futile.
Resistance is not futile!
Oh hi data
