Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they're a vegetable, so you can tell someone you're eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald's for some frenchy fries
The frying is the questionable part. (Well, the french part too but...)
Still vegetables! Everyone knows that a nice dinner at a Chinese buffet is healthy if you eat a few green beans lmao
They really are a miracle food. And they make every dish better.
I mean, in fairness, "vegetable" isn't a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.
But they're a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!
Potatoes never go bad. They just start the process of turning into more potatoes.
potatoes definitely do rot and the smell is so horrific it can only be the results of failed potato genetics
Rotten potatoes smell somewhere between raw sewage and demon anus
The green dust is also toxic to breathe in.
I recently had the pleasure of shoveling a rotting bag of potatoes out of my pantry. Likely the worst smell I have ever witnessed, nothing compares.
Some potatoes went bad in my kitchen a few days ago, it smelled like actual human shit. Grim
The photo is terrifying.
Potato... right. Anyone handy with the flamethrower?
Potatoes are fucking immortal, I recovered some of last year's from a planter whose soil was so dry it was almost sand, planted them again, watered them and they immediately sprouted vines and leaves.
That's because this is pretty much their natural lifecycle. They're native to the Andes, where cold, dry weather is kind of the norm.
[clap clap clap] "Oh, good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that."
Potatoes after watching "the last of us":
Imma gonna grow
Now I'm scared to eat potatoes what if it grows in my stomach
That's why you stab them with a knife
It's easy, just make sure you don't have any soil based condiments on the side.
Your stomach contains some of the strongest acid in nature, thanks to ancestors who were scavengers. The potato has no chance
Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.
Tire stack..... Start growing in a tire or right on the ground. As soon as it's taller than the next available tire take that tire place it on the stack and bury the plant until there's just a couple of leaves above ground. Everything you buried be gentle will root out and become space for more spuds. When it grows up taller than another tire rinse and repeat until you have a stack of tires when you're ready to harvest just start knocking the tires over one by one. Works well to line them with plastic as well if you can
I'm not sure I want something that's going into my mouth growing inside old tires.
Yeah dude it's fine, you also mix used motor oil into the soil and it acts as a good pesticide.
I've recently heard of some people living near the coast, carrying on an old local tradition of simply growing potatoes in seaweed instead of soil, adding a natural salty taste to them.
I just found that mine are growing little mini potatoes even though they didn't find any soil.
They soiled themselves.
Never let your potato-pc run after midnight. Or this will happen.
This photo is just wild.
It’s heading for the screen in the upper right to google for soil.

Potatoes revolutionized human agriculture once we discovered which parts of the plants weren't poisonous. Unlike the human standard before that point, mostly grains, Potatoes can grow even on slopes and mildly rocky terrain.
As a communist that is also of Irish descent, and absolutely loves potato based dishes, I feel like this meme is specifically crafted for me.
