Potato is a raw food item in The Long Dark, found inside Vegetable Rack, Potato Sacks or indoors.

Overview

Potatoes are vegetables with a long shelf-life. They cannot be eaten raw, but may be cooked or used to craft stews. They are found indoors 4-8 at a time inside a Potato Sack or Vegetable Drawers, loose indoors (usually on the floor), or inside crates.

Potatoes are a non-renewable resource unless the Trader is enabled, where there is a chance for them to appear.

Potatoes spoil at the same rate no matter whether stored inside, outside, container or not.

Usage

Raw potatoes are inedible, and must be placed upon a cooking slot of a lit Fire for 60 minutes to create a Cooked Potato. Collecting a finished one improves your Cooking Skill and increases its condition by 50%.

Raw potatoes are necessary for the creation of various stew Recipes.
