Orange-potato experiment results

To recap: After a bag of potatoes nestled between a bag of oranges and a bag of grapefruit in the pantry turned slimy in just a little over a week, I couldn’t help wondering if the citrus fruits were to blame.

To check this hypothesis, we set two bowls on the counter, one containing a potato and an orange, the other a potato and a grapefruit. It’s been 12 days now (11 for the grapefruit), and both potatoes look fine. In fact, I’ll probably use them in a soup tomorrow night.
