I have a baby potato from the grocery store, can I just plant

I dont want to grow potatoes enough to go buy some seeds, if someone was going to recommend that, it was just an experiment/idea Id like to do like this, I'm already growing a papaya tree from a grocery store fruit. So can I do it with a potato as well? And how can I do it? The whole papaya thing was much more familiar to me

NO!!!

baby potatoes shouldn't be taken away from their mothers until at LEAST 14 WEEKS!!!

sounds like you went to a BYB

I call it baby potato because i got a sack, I was cooking but this one looked cute, so I felt pity and didnt use it, now I just have a potato in my room

its 2 inches by 1.5 inches ish in size, and oddly round

Lel. Seriously though, OP, this is literally how you grow potatoes. You either cut up potatoes and make sure each piece has an "eye" (buds) or you just plant small potatoes and they get larger and produce more potatoes.

Cut it up into small pieces in a way where each piece has an eye, then put in a little hole in the ground, fill hole with fertile potting soil, and wait

This occasionally gets passed around on /k/, figured it would be relevant here.

potatoes are treated so they won't sprout in storage. sometimes you get ones that sprout anyways, so it might work.

most people who grow potatoes get seed potatoes- from online, garden centers, hardware stores. potatoes get a million billion diseases and so people pay more for certified seed potatoes.

Why the hell on /k/?? Was /k/ the /out/ before /out/?

SHTF and Infograph threads.

Just chuck it on the bottom shelf of your pantry and forget about it for a year. That's how I grow 'em.
