Bought some red potatoes at my green grocer. They were no name brand..,generic in a plain plastic bag marked #5. When I went to use them they felt greasy. I tried to wash them and they felt greasier. Put one in a bowl to give it the oil slick test and sure enough a rainbow oil slick formed on the water covering the tator. Last time I buy no name potatoes. Yes, they were cheap but the bag went straight the trash. If I had a name I could try to contact the farmer / company to ask what the hell they are doing to the food.

BTW, tested my Yukon gold and russets and no oil slick.
