When picking a potato what are you looking for? Size? Firmness? Dark spots? Is it rotten? Have you ever been able to find the perfect potato? What qualities are you willing to abandon if you can't get them all.
Needless to say I am not an expert potato picker. Most the time I get what i think is a pretty descent tater only to get it home and realize the inside is all spotted and brown. I consider cutting out the spots but how many spots are acceptable to cut before you decided it would just be easier to get a new potato.
One time I tried to salvage what I thought was a good potato but ended up cutting my hand and it hurt so bad that I gave up and tossed it. Maybe I'm just not taking the time needed to make the right tater choice. I should start with what I am planning to make then go pick out the best one. Am I making a family meal? Is it just a fill in? or maybe, it is a quick microwave deal. Wam bam thank you potato!?
I had no idea grocery shopping could get so complicated. I'm about to just say fuck it and stop eating.
Three potato, four...
