Or plant it, if it's a decent size, it can yield over 1lbs of potatoes in 3 months. In my area it's low maintenance. If you have limited space, I've had 5 lbs worth in a 15 gallon bag, it has about the same footprint as an office chair.

Without trying hard (ie: just burying some buds/ears in soil, no hilling or anything), I got 3lb out of a 5 gallon construction bucket of enriched soil (ie: thirds of dirt, peat moss and compost)

I’ll probably do a few more buckets, but kale, tomatoes and peppers get me more value than potatoes.

Just throwing cut potatoes into my compost heap yields way more potatoes than I personally need.
