and later when I left them to cool down before throwing them out in another room it started smelling like mint too
like mint medicine or something, kind of like a cough syrup is supposed to taste like something but it is like a evil version of the desired thing. or maybe more like those... alpine? smells like those air freshners (menthol? wintergreen?), like one of those things thats supposed to be 'refreshing' or invigorating or something, but gone really wrong, I could imagine some crap at the doctor smelling like that
and they were boiled for a long time like soft
i never saw potatoes pull this shit before
