Bad potatoes in the bin?

17 years ago

I feel like an idiot, but a while back we'd bought a bag of potatoes from the store - and cut them for cooking to find out about half were bad in the centers.

I'm thinking back on it, and I believe they (as random veggie-type kitchen waste, I'm still trying to get the rest of the family on board regularly!) got put in the compost bin.

I'm not sure now if this is going to be a problem. I don't know if they'd had ring rot or something similar, I'm not that familiar with potato problems. I'd never seen anything like it before, not in store-bought, otherwise perfectly healthy looking spuds. :'(

I *do* plant potatoes in the garden - certified seed I pick up at a nursery.

Should I be concerned?

Should I not worry?

Should I go outside and dig through the wet bin and try to take out anything that resembles a potato, or is this a lost cause?
