Canned Potato (Open) is a tin of new potatoes that has been opened and is ready to eat. It fills the stomach well and eases thirst a little. It also goes into soups, stews, pies, stir fries, salads and omelettes.
The open potatoes stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. The can comes from opening a sealed can of Canned Potato with a Can Opener or a sharp blade.
Eating
Eating the whole can lowers hunger by 18 and thirst by 7. It holds 175 calories, mostly from 35 grams of carbohydrates, with 2.5 grams of protein. That is filling for its weight but only modest on energy.
The potatoes are good hot. Heating the can before eating gives a small mood lift. They are safe to eat cold as well.
Among open canned vegetables, potatoes fill more than most. Canned Corn (Open) and Canned Peas (Open) lower hunger by 16 but hold more energy, at 315 and 280 calories. Canned Carrots (Open) and Canned Tomato (Open) lower hunger by 12. Canned Vegetable Soup (Open) is more filling still, at 25.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage
The potatoes stay fresh for 2 days after the can is opened. They are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. As the potatoes go stale and then rotten, their good effects turn bad. The sealed can keeps without spoiling, so it is best opened only when it will be used that day.
Notes
- The potatoes ease thirst by 7, more than most canned vegetables.
- Heat the potatoes before eating, as they are good hot.
- The potatoes add their full value to a soup, a stew or a pie.
- Eating the potatoes leaves an empty tin can behind.
