week ass potatoes

they don't deserve to be eaten

>>12921601
>go to make a potato
how does one "make" a potato? surely you meant to type "cook" potato, yes?

>>12921601
Did you not check them for freshness before you bought them? Rookie mistake.

where are you storing them?

>>12921616
on the counter. When I put them in the pantry they all grew roots and shit

>>12921601
What type of girl that is?

>>12921621
Dump them out of the plastic transport bag out onto your pantry floor like everyone else ya dip

Anon were you abused as a child?

>>12921607
That athletic mexican puss deserves to be eaten

>>12921639
>girl

they need to be somewhere cold and dark ideally

>>12921621
If they were "growing roots and shit" then that means they were still good.
Taking a few little root buds off is better than throwing them away because they're rotten, isn't it?
You had it right the first time, pleb.

>>12921684
thirsty huh

>>12921601
Where is Argebtunia? Can I fly there nonstop from JFK or EWR?

>>12921601
>>buy potatoes
>>go to make a potato 4 days later
>>potatoes Au Gratin
>yum

>>12921601
Are you storing them in the bag?
Get a cardboard box or a plastic crate or something and empty the bag into that. Let the little fellas breathe.

>>12921639
looks like white + Argentinian indian. The combination of a big head with narrow shoulders and weirdly proportioned body is unmistakable.

>>12923300
So a mexican

>>12921621
>he doesn't wait for potatoes to grow roots before eating them
Fucking lol, let them age a little bit, you fucked up. Buy some potatoes again, wait for them to develop roots and then eat them

>>12923267
Pretty sure it was argentina. I remember saving it off of some thread on /r9k/ in 2012 after some anon who was a spic was bitching about having a crush on this girl and her letting some other dude take this pic of her in her panties

Are you storing them near onions? A lot of people put things like limes, onions, garlic and potatoes all on the counter or plate together, but onions cause potatoes to react and sprout

>>12923291
Those titties are swollen with milk

>>12924979
nah onions go in the fridge

>>12921601
>>buy potatoes
>>go to make a potato 4 days later
>>potatoes are rotten
Two reasons likely:
They were old and nasty when you bought them.
and/or
They weren't stored ideally.

People used to have low humidity, dark and cool places to store long lasting foods like onions, and potatoes. The proverbial "root cellar" and there was usually some cheese, wine and other stuff down there too.

At home, simulate it. Keep your home cold enough. Remove humidity from the air in your home. Don't store next to bananas. Don't store next to apples (gases). Don't store in a plastic bag all together. In other words, keep them dry, cool and out of the sun for chlorophyll development kinds of reasons.

When I get potatoes home, I inspect them, and usually remove 1 to use first, or throw out if it could spoil the whole batch. But, be careful where you buy them. Be flexible to buy the large loose ones intended for steak dinners, versus some dirty bruised and cut nasty ones in a bag. Sometimes the yukons will be cleaner than the russet or the reds, and you go with that. Barring all else, you can store them in the bottom drawer in your fridge a tad longer if your house is summery hot.

>>12924979
I keep my onions and potatoes in the same box. Never had any problems with that.

>>12924794
Can you share them?

>>12921601
how does that even happen

you must be doing something very wrong

>>12921621

Are you storing them next to onions?

>>12921608
Someone made the mistake of "making" you and a potato fell out your mum's crack 9 months later.

>>12921601
store them properly you gay homosexual faggot

Mooooaaarrrr

>>12921608
This Nigger pokes a hole in the potato and puts in the microwaver

>>12923535
They will grow in the stomach. U will become potato. My mom has said.

>buy potato
>throw the ones I don't use immediately into a plastic storage bin because I've been having trouble with gnats
>forget they're there
>4 months later can't figure out what smells so bad
>they turned into some kind of toxic smelling soup

>>12924794
>bitching about having a crush on this girl and her letting some other dude take this pic of her in her panties
lmao

>>12925062
thanks global warming, now my potatoes go bad in 2 days because my region is a hot and humid hellhole

>>12925131
share what? This is the only pic I saved off of that thread.

>>12925156
nah, onions go in the fridge

>>12926006
It's some spic anon's onitus from /r9k/ from 2012. I just like using the pic, because when you reverse image google search it shows my old posts

>>12927220
just reversed google image searched it and it seems like some other fag on /pol/ is also using the image. Not that I don't post on /pol/ with this image too, but there was some post about north ireland which wasn't me

>>12921746
i cant store potatoes in my heart
can i?

>>12921601
you either bought some really shitty potatoes or aren't storing them correctly
i've had potatoes that were still good after over a month

>>12921601
this is why i store potatoes in the refrigerator

I grow my own potatoes and they keep for months. After I dig them up, I wash them off gently with the hose, lay them out to dry, and then put them into paper bags which go onto my produce rack in the basement. So far my wife and I have harvested about 25 pounds in the last couple weeks. There are more plants to dig.

Point is, if your potatoes are fresh they can keep for months. I suspect there are basically two reasons why supermarket potatoes go bad so quickly. First, they have been dug up, washed once, cured in a warehouse for at least a week or two to stabilize them and allow any handling wounds to heal, and then washed again before being shipped. This is already more washing than you should do. Second, the farm to supermarket supply chain is infected with powerful molds and funguses, as well as fruit flies and so on. There is no way to keep your produce from encountering several strains of disease and several kinds of bugs on the way to the local store.

My potatoes are handled by hand, I eat any with wounds, and only the gemlike jewels, the perfect potatoes go into storage. So that’s probably why they keep so long compared to store bought ones.

IM GONNA COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKING SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

>>12921601
Potatoes last for weeks in CA, must be the dry air

>>12925800
Top fucking kek

>>12928133

You just want an excuse to be annoying, don't you?

>>12928144
He’s probably looking for an excuse to be alive desu

>>12928146

He should create something that isn't a bowel movement. Create a cheap little video game or write a short story, anything other than this, really.

>>12928158
I What if I just wanna create coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

>>12921607
more like half-week potatoes

>>12926093
That's literally genetically impossible. There have been cases of people with tears in their intestinal lining that have gotten roots stuck and ends up in fully puncturing the intestines. I work in an ER and have seen 1 of these cases come in.

>>12921621
>When I put them in the pantry they all grew roots and shit
That's a good sign. It means that they aren't laden with pesticides and stored properly.

>>12928302
It’s people like you that show me our medical infrastructure is in just as bad of shape as our education infrastructure.

>>12921601

> being so poor you need to store food

I had a potato start growing green shit so I put it in some dirt and it turned into a plant

>>12929924
>infrastructure

>>12921621
You're suppose to keep them in the dark.

>>12921684
Patrician taste.

>>12930104
I'm a very honest and open person though.
