Can I eat these new potatoes if I cut off the spouts?

[Friedbanana]

Or would it be unreasonable?

Should be fine. Just remove the eyes and stalks, and any bits going green (can't see any in the photo, but it sometimes happens round shooting bits.) Then cook as normal.

Yep.

Yep

Just rub them off with your fingers, it's much quicker. They will be fine to eat.

Yeah, I would.

It would be unreasonable not to eat them.

I often serve potatoes that had sprouted. I just make sure that our self-designated food standards inspector (DS1) isn’t around when I pick the shoots off.

They are perfectly good potatoes.

The only thing wrong with them is that they have marginally fewer nutrients (because you've cut them off).

They don't appear to be wrinkly or mouldy, so you're fine.

Eat them, or plant them and get lots more potatoes in the summer!

Absolutely fine.

I was thinking that too - might also be an interesting thing for DC to do

Our potatoes are almost always like that!

Of course you can.

Totally fine.

Same here. I use a teaspoon to pick the bits out
