These seemed so great. Canadian pre-washed pre-weighed golden potatoes with a little face drawn on. What's not to like? I'll tell you what, friends. Upon opening the bag, I was assaulted by a powerfully sweet? chemical? hazardous? acetone? sweaty? smell. The potatoes looked fine, they weren't mushy or discolored or anything, but the entire bag and every potato (and therefore my hands) smelled so strongly of this rancidly sweet smell, a smell I have never really smelled before, let alone on a potato. Google suggested maybe it is clove oil or some other herbal oil? But I have smelled cloves (non-oil form) and it didn't smell like that. The bag also didn't mention any such oils, which is messed up, transparency wise, if that's in fact what it was. I was prepared to eat them anyway since they seemed fine after cooking (and because these potatoes were expensive and the main food I planned for the week), but I texted my eat-anything-even-if-unwashed-or-20-years-expired-or-a-bird-pooped-on-it parents and they said... to throw them out. Good god! So, I did. Therefore I can't recommend buying these potatoes since I didn't eat them, but if you do buy them, let me know if they smell hella weird, ok? Like a sweaty gymbro wearing artificial fabric who rolled around in the chemistry lab's dumpster or something. Let me know if you smell that. xoxo.
