If potatos are not old enough and they come in a 5lb bag with lots of
moisture, how do you dry them without getting sprouts or mold?

Pack paper towels in the bag...this will help take
up the excess moisture. A 5 lb. bag shouldn't
last long anyway.

A bag of potatoes should not be moist. They should have been (need to be)
stored in a cool dry place. If you leave any potatoes sitting long enough
they're going to sprout and get moldy. If you can't use 5 lbs. before that
happens, buy a smaller bag of potatoes.

Take them out of the plastic and spread them on a newspaper ? But I
can't imagine a 5 lb bag lasting long enough to sprout or go mouldy.

We've ended up buying potatoes several at a time from the bin because we
go through so few of them.

I guess you spelled his name that way to stay on topic.

I think he was referring back to Quayle's infamous misspelling of
"potato", reflected in the OP.

Of course, but he also misspelled the name.

I can't think of another word that ends with "o" and has an "e" added before
the "s".

pimiento ==> pimientos

When you cook for one they can. But on a recent rerun of Molto Mario, he
said potatoes are normally dried for months before marketing, but are
sometimes sold too soon. I never heard that before.

I'd go with Al Gore.

Unless one lives in potato growing country, and it's harvest season,
most all one buys at the stupidmarket are storage spuds, typically out
of the ground at least a month. Potatoes are best fresh dug, most
folks have never tasted a freshly dug potato. As soon as potatoes are
dug they are ready to eat, there is no drying, just wash off the dirt
and cook.

Right, of course. Zero is more common without it.

No, he did it because he's an idiot.

No, he was calling attention to the fact that Dan Quayle is an idiot.

I'm a geologist, and I once spent a few weeks working on a deep
geothermal well in the parking lot of the Ore-Ida plant in OreIda.
They made potato chips, dried mashed potatoes, all kinds of processed
potatoes. They wanted to use geothermal steam in the process.

They had HUGE sheds, partly underground, with dirt floors. They
hauled pototoes in by the dumptruck load all day long. They'd back
the trucks in, dump the load, then bring the next truck in. All day
long. THen they'd feed the plant for the rest of the year on those
potatoes.

And the potatoes were HUGE as well, the biggest ones nearly as big as
a football. The other wellsite geologist and I used to split one
every shift change.

You can use paper towels that absorb excess moisture. The potatoes can last for few more days.
