We talk a lot about potatoes, don't we? We love our potatoes, no matter whether they're white, russet, yellow, purple, or pink!
I don't know about most people, but I've never liked keeping potatoes in the pantry. I've never bought them in such large bulk that I couldn't keep them in the vegetable bin in the frig. This is a great example of why I DON'T keep potatoes in the pantry!
Darn sprout busted right through the bag!
I don't know who put these in my pantry, but I found them today hiding behind some boxes of crackers! Just nasty!
That's just nasty lookin!
Believe it or not, some people actually think it's okay to cook a potato that has sprouted! (Yes, I googled it.) Ick! I would have thrown up if I had even touched one of these nasty lookin' sprouts. (They look like maggots!) No way would I consider cleaning them off and eating the potatoes.
I don't know which is worse, the fact that these disgusting ‘things' were in my pantry, or the fact that I took a picture of them to share with all of you! 🙂
But, please don't let this keep you from comin' back! Within the next couple of days, I'll be sharing a gorgeous Summertime Fruit Salad made with the absolute freshest of fruit!

Gross! It looks like they have horns!
I always heard that you wanted to store your taters in the pantry, since the fridge can make the starch turn sugary. I guess your pantry has to be pretty cool for that to work though, otherwise you get potatoes with horns!

I checked that out, too…Apparently, if you buy a large 5 or 10 pound bag, I guess you can put an apple or two in the bag with them to help preserve the potatoes and keep them from sprouting. Learn something new everyday, huh?
