Potatoes are fucking immortal, I recovered some of last year's from a planter whose soil was so dry it was almost sand, planted them again, watered them and they immediately sprouted vines and leaves.
That's because this is pretty much their natural lifecycle. They're native to the Andes, where cold, dry weather is kind of the norm.
