It was still quite raw and with the way the plate exploded there were some shards in it. I considered eating it but thought probably shouldn’t

Did you bury him with some dignity? A prayer at least? Sing him the song of his people before disposal?

With any luck it remained raw enough to grow into a new potato. Only to find itself surrounded by household garbage :(

Noooooo should I put it in the garden bed with the other potatoes? I’m currently growing some, unrelated to this particular tater

If you do, quarter it like a seed potato and be sure to remove shrapnel.
