I got home late yesterday afternoon, and since it was my turn to cook dinner I was looking for something easy and fast. Omelets and fried potatoes sounded good, but when I went to the pantry to get a couple of the potatoes from last summer I found that they had sprouted. I mean SPROUTED. One of them had stems as long as my hand. I dug deeper into the box of individually newspaper wrapped spuds.. and every single one was sprouted. Some just a little nub here and there, some as if they were planted in the garden.
What did I do wrong? Dry potatoes – wrapped in newspaper (a neighbor suggested that) – piled in a cardboard box – on the floor of the pantry = dark, dry, cool(ish).
And – if I break off the sprouts, can we still eat them?????
Or – what do I do with them now? Keep them in the pantry till it warms up and plant them??
