A method and apparatus for removing decayed portions (12, 14-16) from the exterior of potatoes (P) are disclosed. The potatoes (P) are supported and advanced on a series of rollers (51-82) relative to a plurality of water spray nozzles (90,84). said rollers (51-82) adapted to orient the potatoes (P) so that the entire surface of the potato (P) is subjected to spray emanating from said nozzles (90,94). The water sprays have sufficient force to disrupt and remove decayed portions (12, 14-16) of the potatoes (P) while leaving the remaining portions of the potatoes (P) substantially intact. |
