A Few Potatoes in My Bag are Leaking Liquid And Smell Bad. Do I Have to Throw Them All Away?

A few potatoes in my bag are leaking liquid and smell bad. Do I have to throw them all away?

Fresh potatoes have a wonderful, earthy or neutral aroma. However, when they begin to go bad well, the scent goes from good to…really bad. The good news is that after you’ve identified and discarded the leaking, bad ones – just rinse off the remaining good potatoes. Pat these dry and store in a cool, dark pantry at room temperature and use within a few days.

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
