This is exactly how I use the bag and have never had a problem. When I wash the potato (or sweet potato), I leave it wet and wrap in paper towel (which also gets wet). Perhaps that is why I haven't had the problem.

I have read evrything that I could find about them because I wanted them for Christmas & I will put all the directions with it. Hopefully the Warm Tater batting is the answer.
