Yes, you can leave potatoes in the ground after they are ready to harvest. They can be left in the ground for a few weeks after the plants have died back, but it is best to harvest them before the first frost to prevent damage.

Seed for potato?

If you want to plant potatoes, you would not want "seed" you would want seed potatoes. If you look at a potato , you will see what are called eyes, which are actually sprouts. Cut the potato into 1/4 sections, having several eyes on each section. Plant this and with ample moisture, it will sprout. Plant approx. 3" deep. If you leave one in the bag, too long, it can also sprout, but will not make potatoes. potatoes are a tuber, and new potatoes will form on the root system in the ground. ( nodules)

CAN YOU LEAVE PEELED POTATOES SOAKING IN CHICKEN BROTH OVERNIGHT?

Yes, you can leave peeled potatoes soaking in chicken broth overnight, but it's essential to consider a few factors. The potatoes may absorb some of the broth's flavor and become saltier if the broth is salted. Additionally, soaking for too long can lead to a mushy texture, so it's best to limit soaking time to a few hours if possible. If you plan to cook them soon after soaking, this method can enhance their flavor.

How long does it take for potatoes to rot and why?

If stored in a cool dry place (not in the refrigerator, but in a wire container) at about 45 to 50 degrees and away from onions you should expect them to last for about 4-6 months. The main reason potatoes rot so quickly is do to improper storage. Many people leave the potatoes in the bag they purchased them in, store them in the refrigerator (which affects the cell structure), store them with onions (they will produce gases that will promote decomposition) or leave them were light and warm temperatures will cause your potatoes to sprout. Damaged potatoes should be stored separately and used first because they will cause the other potatoes to rot.
