I cut up some seed potatoes for planting and now am not sure when I can get them in the ground.

How long will they keep? Or am I going to have to buy new ones later?

Or is there some way of salvaging them?

When the sun comes out, place them so that the cuts will scab up.
They are then prepped for planting, with the eye (sprouts) facing upward.

Just keep them in the house on a tray so the cut edges can dry; turn them so the cut sides are up so they can scab over. Don’t keep them in the dark, but don’t put them in a window, either - just regular indoor light for now.

Don’t water them or anything, just let them dry out. They should last a week or more like that.

I’ve purchased pre-cut potatoes in the past, and they were just shriveled things and they still produced just fine.
