Put them in a dark closet that is room temperature and forget about them.
They will sprout then take them outside on what eer and cut the sprouts off the potato and leave some skin on.
Bury it and they will grow.
My compost bin is full of them by accident.
The sprouting inhibitor only last for a sort time.
Your biggest worry is bringing in blight to your garden.
There are ways to help prevent this but it escapes me now.
Seed potatoes are grown in areas or fields where there is no blight.
Grocery store potatoes dont have to follow these regulations as strictly.
