Alien Potatoes – The Solution.
What you have there are seed potatoes, and the solution is simple. Plant them.
Get some buckets. Make sure that they have holes in the bottom so that water can drain through them. Then place a couple of inches of soil in the bottom. Plant about three or four potatoes per bucket and cover them over with another couple of inches of soil.
Keep them well watered so that the soil is always moist and pretty soon you will start to see shoots appear. When these shoots protrude for a couple of inches (sorry I mean about five centimetres), cover them with some more soil. Keep repeating this process of topping up with more soil to cover the emerging shoots until you have filled the bucket to the top.
Allow the plants to grow keeping them well watered throughout until the shoots die back and turn brown and shrivelled. Your crop is then ready to harvest. Simply turn out the buckets and you will be surprised to find how productive this method is. For every potato that you plant you should harvest four or five, so you can often get twenty potatoes out of a single bucket.
It is really a very simple and economical way of growing your own vegetables. Give it a try.
The link above captures the key points – cool and dry. Remember that alien is actually alive, it is simply a root wanting to grow.
