Cure Poisonous Potatoes

There should be a way for us to be able to cure poisonous potatoes by using a cauldron and some mixture of items and/or potions.

    Mojang has said before that the poisonous potato will never have any use. In fact, they’ve gone out of their way to make sure that it’s pointless. Thanks, Mojang. 😑

    Poisonous potatoes are just regular potatoes that already started growing, hence producing the toxic substance solanine that is found in all other parts of regular potato plants (stems, leaves, flowers, above-ground fruit) as well. Planting any regular potato would lead to it becoming poisonous as it starts to grow. 

    Hence, no, we don't need a way to "cure" them. Instead, we should be able to simply compost as well as plant poisonous potatoes, since that is exactly what in reality is the case - producing regular, non-poisonous compost, and regular potato plants. 

    Or in other words: "Cure" them by growing them into a regular, healthy potato plant which you can eventually harvest for regular potatoes, or use them to make compost just like regular potatoes.
