I have a 10lb bag of russett potatoes. There was one rotten one in there.?
I have a 10-pound bag of russet potatoes, and I found one that was rotten. It was starting to ooze some foul-smelling goo, but the other potatoes appeared to be fine. I washed a few to peel, boil, and add to a soup. Can one rotten potato contaminate the entire bag, or are the other potatoes still safe to eat? I guess I’ll find out before anyone responds, as I am already cooking them, but I'm still curious to hear if anyone has an answer. Thank you!

They’ll be all right. Just wash, ᴘᴇᴇl and cook thoroughly.
Try to make use of the bag in a time efficient manner.

One rotten one can make the whole bag rotten if left but if the rest are still firm they are perfectly all right to eat. If any of the goo from the rotten one got on any of the others wash it off and let them sit out to dry. Leave it on and they will start to rot too.
We grow enough potatoes to do us for the winter and this happens occasionally and if it hasn’t killed us or made us sick in over 30 years it won’t hurt you either
Had this happen to us, we washed them with a brush dried and let stand for a few days but the smell stayed. I ᴘᴇᴇled some washed again boiled and they still stunk and tasted bad. left a rotten taste. One bad potato killed the good.

You need to get used to agriculture products, my grandpa would have carved off the rotten half and used the other half.
