And leave them long enough and they start growing. Hardy things.
Thinking of growing some this year. I know some places say not to use supermarket potatoes but garden centre seed potatoes cost like 10 times as much and are essentially just old potatoes. Also heard they can be treated with stuff to prevent them growing. They are still growing so it clearly didn't work
I found out that growing potatoes seems to be easier than all the articles I read made it sound. And while buying seed potatoes might make a difference (for example if you wanted some specific kind of potatoes), regular market potatoes work just fine.
My guide for growing potatoes, copy-pasted from my earlier comment:
Fridge? Never stored potatoes in the fridge myself tbh. My thinking was just use potatoes left over from what I would have eaten that have started going a little soft and sprouting roots.
Sure, you can go with those too.
