How to Tell if Potatoes are Bad

Step 1

Rinse potatoes under water making sure to scrub away any dirt.

Step 2

Check for soft spots, dark spots, sprouts, or green color.

Step 3

If the potato has little sprouts remove them, then prep potato for your dish. If there is a little green cut that off. If the potato has long spouts, is soft, wrinkled, or has lots of dark spots get rid of it.

Step 4

Cook your good potatoes anyway you like and enjoy!
