I guess it depends on how bad they are shriveled. They won't hurt you unless
they are rotten and you'll know. But, if you have enough good ones (not
shriveled) and say those two are all that's left from the bag, I'd throw
them out. The same is true if they get eyes or those root things now that
it's getting spring. Just break those off and you can still use the potato.
It's just roots where it wants to grow. If you need those shriveled potatoes
to have the amount needed, just peel and cook them. I probably wouldn't try
to bake them though since they might be a little dry or the texture might be
a little different.

Hi, so I do have a couple that are shriveled, should I just go ahead and not
eat those, or just try to peal them anyway.

Don't worry about your potatoes. If you by chance eat a green potato, it
will not make you sick. It has to do with to much light and if you eat
potato chips, you will occasionally find a chip with a little green tinge.
Unless your potatoes are shriveled and soft which would make them hard to
peel, or rotten, they are fine. And, trust me, if they are rotten, you
will know. If they feel funny or smell funny, don't eat 'em. Otherwise,
enjoy.

Subject: [CnD] potato question
Hi all. I was wondering how to tell if potatoes have gone bad? I’ve
smelled rotten potatoes before, so is that what I should look for, or is
there other things I should look for in determining whether a potato has
gone bad. I saw online that if its green it’s poisonous, but I’m just
curious. I have a bag of potatoes I’ve had for a few weeks, and don’t
want to cook them if they are bad.
Thanks.
Holly
