How to preserve a potato?
I know this is probably a weird question, but how can I preserve a potato? My 3 yr old daughter and her grandma made a thing like a mr. potato head except with a real potato and beads and some other stuff (lol) and it's really cute, but its gonna rot lol. Anyway I can preserve this or am I just going to have to take a few pictures and then chunk it in the garbage? Thanks! =)

Short of caning it or freezing it in a airtight bag pictures will be your only options. The potato will continue to develop and spots and roots will show up. Eventually the sugars will break down and the potato will actually start to weep a gross smelly sticky sugary substance. i have heard of people pickeling potatoes that were shaped like things to make them last longer or even trying to find liquid acrylic to "preserve" it how it is now. Pretty much just a lot of trouble when you could just photograph and tell them that its not possible to save it. Post a link to a pic of it cause I would like to see it!!!
you may be able to if you plastic wrap it and put in a zip lock bag. But then it might get freezer burn. You then would have to throw it away.

Put it in vodka and into the fridge.
