Unless they're black, slimy, and smelly, they're fine. Scrub them well, and pick out any 'eyes' that may have sprouted. Cook as normal. (I've never even realized a sack of potatoes has an expiration date, I've just gone by look and feel.)
Potatoes were traditionally stored in a barn for a good part of a year between crops.

As long as they have been kept in a dark place (or you remove any green bits) %26amp; they've not gone mouldy, they will be fine.



Even part mouldy ones can be used for chips if you carefully remove any discoloured bits.Can i eat potatoes that are ten days out of date to cook for baked potato?
Potatoes are wonderful food.

And they don't go unless, after a long time, they

go rotten. Choose 2 large potatoes, prick them

all over, put in a dish and then micro-wave for

10 minutes/put in the oven for an hour. They

are delicious with some butter on them.



Bon appetite !
It is best used on that date but if a sack of potatoes are bad you will not have to ask. I have eaten foods from cans that were out of date but you have to use common sense, some are not good!Can i eat potatoes that are ten days out of date to cook for baked potato?

Yes thats fine did it the other day and everything was fine also tasted the same.
ive always been told that potatoes dont have a sell by date really

if they look fine (not mouldy or soft )

they should generally be ok to eat!

Ive done it many a time and I've never been ill xx
They will be fine, just knock any roots off them which have sprouted.
