Potato problem....maybe

Hi

We turned out one of our 2nd early (Kestrel) bags the other day and after leaving them outside to dry off for a couple of hours, brought them in and put them in a paper bag to start using this week. Some of the compo was left on the pots but no more than you would see if buying them from a greengrocer.

We went to use some today and found that a couple were hard to clean off. (You had to literally scrub the spud to get the dirt off). I scrapped off the dirt from another spud, which left small brown spots behind, and smelled it (as you do) and it smelled of burnt plastic!!

Anyone had this before? Should we ditch the rest of the potatoes?

Any help, greatly appreciated.
