You might want to do some quick research on cut potatos eyes.
I believe that you might cut off the sprouted eyes for planting , and leave in the sun for a couple of days so that they form a 'callous'.
Without the callous , there is a potential 'rotten spot' for bacteria to grow on, thus killing the growing plant.
Commercial potato breeders generally dip "seed potatos" in a powder to ward off any disease or bacterial rot. Just a suggestion .. YMMV
Oh WOW! Thanks for the heads up on the need to prep my potato sprouts.
So let me make sure I understand:
I do my potato cuts and set the cuts out on a pan to dry out?
How long do I leave them out?
Just looked at this article:

It just told me to set the pieces out for no more than a day or two.
They are saying I should set out even the treated seed potatoes in a shady area. So I’m wondering should I even attempt the grocery store potato I have sprouting?
What do they use for treatment?
