We'll tell you whether you can eat these potatoes.
Can you eat potatoes with cracks and bumps?
Cracks in potatoes can be caused by improper care, weather conditions, or a viral disease that is not dangerous to humans.
You can eat these potatoes, but you definitely shouldn’t buy them for seeds.
As for the tuber rot, it is caused by scab and spindle tuber virus.
Tubers with scab smell bad and do not store well. If the lumpiness is caused by the spindle virus, such potatoes can only be used as cattle feed, and then only in boiled form.
