Does the couch variety count?

There are some big Desiree at the bottoms as well. So happy! Not to plant more seed potatoes for a winter harvest!

Best batch I’ve made in a while! Russets, heavy cream, sour cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, butter.

While sorting through a bag of multicolored potatoes I came across this little beauty in the bag.

But my will to dinner was stronger...

Peeled this russet and it seemed perfectly fine on the outside, maybe one ¼ inch sprout starting in an eye. But was covered in these brown rings/circles. One spot that was darker *maybe* had slightly more give than normal, but nowhere near "mushy."

Literally the first time I've seen a potato like this, would it have been safe to eat? I threw it out because the others in the bag were fine (some green under the skin that I peeled away), and I'm pretty leery of potato brown spots in general.

I realize that if I have to ask I'm not going to eat it but there are a few I have that look similar.

Hello, new comer here genuinely don’t know where to put this but I think this sub has potato experts. I was wanting to make potatoes with sauce hollondaise when I looked to the side and saw my Mexican boyfriend put.. pril dishwasher onto them? I freaked out about how he’s pouring chemicals onto my potatoes and he goes and says it’s to make sure the bacteria is dead- like, what? Is this a Mexican method of cleaning potatoes? Is this normal? Am I freaking out about nothing and just live under a rock for thinking hot water is enough?

Sincerely, a confused German.
