I found a lot of these white things in the compost in the barrels where I grow potatoes.
Does anyone know what they are and how I can get rid of them?

Vine weevil would be my guess.

Horrible things, very common in pots of bedding plants since the most comnercial effective pesticide was banned.

There is a vine weevil pesticide now available for domestic use....bugclear or something. Pick out as many as you can see and put them on the bird table.

Thanks Notch7. Knowing what I am dealing with helps a lot. I've ordered some nematodes that I hope will eat them.
