How do you know if a potato has gone bad?
Raw potatoes should be firm to the touch with tight skin that's free of large bruises, black spots, or other blemishes. If a potato has become soft or mushy, you should throw it out. Though it's normal for potatoes to smell earthy or nutty, a musty or moldy odor is a hallmark of spoilage.
Can I eat potatoes after use by date?
Potatoes can be perfectly edible three weeks after their best-before date. If they've gone green and are sprouting in small patches, cut off these areas and eat the rest. If they've gone mouldy, cut away these sections, as long as what you're going to eat is creamy-coloured and firm.
