nah jüdische agricultural companies have created seeds that produce infertile products so you can't get more seeds.

If the global economy ever collapses we will be so fucked

You're a good farmer

A quick glance at the nutritional content of a potato shows that no, it does not contain all the nutrients required for life. So if literally all you had was potatoes you would suffer from vitamin deficiency and die.

Enjoy a slow painful death from scurvy (etc.)

You only need to live 12 years or so to have sex though.

You can grow store bought potato, anon. I did it a bunch of times for shits and giggles.

Potatoes has vitamin C.

Potatoes might work but modern grain is pretty much satan's seed.

Like The Martian?

>>9372933
But you would technically have potatoes for the rest of your life

Be prepared to make new enemies. Beetles and their larvae are going to wreck your shit.

With this in mind, what would be the minimum variety you would need to grow for a nutritionally balanced diet?

You can actually live off of nothing but potatoes and dairy. Also, potatoes have vitamin C content comparable to oranges.

Beetles are bitch tier pests. Nematodes are where the real potato hell begins.
>potato rot nematode
>potato cyst nematode
>golden nematode
>potato knot nematode
>a bunch of other nematodes that will ruin your potato yields
>some of the cyst nematode species can have eggs survive up to 20 years inside cysts in the soil, so soil pockets and fields can remain blighted for decades
>your best defense is planting resistant species of potato, crop rotation, cleaning all equipment meticulously from one field to the next, and jist hoping you don't get any

>>9372927
the potatoes are the seeds, anon

But the potato skin is protein

As long as you have something else to eat while you wait for harvest. . .
Also, you better know how to plant.

>>9372927
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>9373404
You have to consider more than simple nutrition. You have to consider seasons, off season storage, preserving, variety of nutrition, protection against animals and pests, water supply for you and your crop, crop rotation, letting the earth rest//highly effective fertilizer. . . Etc. Etc.

You need zinc and manganese. Milk contains a tiny bit of both, but not enough to ward off deficiency. An iron and molybdenum source would be preferred to. The Irish before the great potato famine used fish, leafy vegetables, and porridge as supplementation to their typical diet for these reasons. Wheat or oat porridge provides all three of those minerals in abundance alongside b vitamins which are good for your cognitive health. Pulses are also a good option.
