Sprouting potatoes - bad for you or urban myth?

[30andMerkin]

Can I make mash with them even tho they have little eyes, or does it really kill you?

Well, if they do, I've been dead for years.

Woooooohooooooooooo! (ghostly noises, in case you don't get it )

Urban myth and one that I've never heard of.
Then again, I was raised in the country for the most part...

I am also dead. Unlike POledra, however, I am a silent and scary kind of ghost to make up for my incessant jabbering in life.

Something about there being poison in the green bits?

I just ignore it though...

Didn't know they belong to the nightshade family.

eyes fine, green not

just cut out

Just hack out the eyes

If the skins are greenish, they are not good

maybe the greenish ones are ok if you don't just peel with a peeler but cut quite deeply with a knife and throw a fair bit away. I really don't know.

we're always eating green potatoes with no ill effects. just make sure you peel a bit of extra skin away, till you get down to the white bit

green potatoes are poisonous.
raw potatoes are not digestible (they give you tummy ache)

sprouting potatoes are fine .
