Hey, I have some potatoes that are a little soft. I was wondering if they

1. I'd be cautious.
If they're green, no pun intended, lol!

Give 'em the sniff test too...

When in doubt, chuck 'em out!

Hard to know...

Good luck...

2. No, those are exhaust pipe potatoes.
Give your Freepwad neighbors a REAL Christmas present! Pop one in the exhaust pipe. Bonus points if it is aimed at another freepwad's SUV.

BWAAA-HAAA-HAAA-HAA!

4. Yes. Old farm wife trick with old 'tater's...
Peel and cube them and soak them in water overnight in a fridge. They will be good and fresh like by morning.
