I do find it pretty metal that these Eldritch abominations that come from a poisonous plant are some of the tastiest things on Earth.

This is the first time I’ve wanted potatoes mashed but not because I’m hungry…

Just found out today if they start to sprout even a little you shouldn’t eat them?
- therandoe ( @therandoe@kbin.social ) 54•11 months ago
NO, that’s not right. If they turn green you shouldn’t eat them. If they sprout in darkness, so the sprouts are white, just pluck the sprouts off and peel like normal.
Just don’t eat green potatoes.
- Micromot ( @Micromot@feddit.de ) 13•11 months ago
Potatoes being green is also unrelated to them sprouting it just happens when they get too much sunlight while growing
- therandoe ( @therandoe@kbin.social ) 6•11 months ago
I’ve had potatoes in my fridge go green. So I don’t think it’s only when growing.
- Micromot ( @Micromot@feddit.de ) 5•11 months ago
You’re right I misremebered it. We usually grow our own potatatoes and there are already some green ones in there so I wrongly presumed it was only during growth
- Cethin ( @Cethin@lemmy.zip ) English3•11 months ago
Ok, so when should they not be eaten?
- Micromot ( @Micromot@feddit.de ) 13•11 months ago
Because the green indicates that toxins have formed inside the potato from exposure to sunlight
- gandalf_der_12te ( @gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de ) 1•11 months ago
Basically the potato wants to protect itself from insects, and so it makes itself un-edible when exposed to sunlight, aka. the surface.

For what its worth the photo above is a sweet potato which is different and generally wont become poisonous.
- BastingChemina ( @BastingChemina@slrpnk.net ) 5•11 months ago
Sweet potato leaves can even be eaten, they are nice stir fried with garlic and ginger.
However never try to eat regular potato leaves, they are poisonous

Also probably taste bitter and nasty, I once tried to eat a potato berry when I was younger and before I knew they weren’t edible and it tasted awful. Don’t judge me I was 5 and didn’t know any better, but I definitely know better now.

You can start a new plant from each of those roots.
- rumschlumpel ( @ichmagrum@feddit.de ) Deutsch9•11 months ago
Potatoes can literally kill you with poisonous gas if you store too many of them wrong. It was a real risk when potato cellars were still a thing.

I was curious how this came about, so reverse image seached. In short, it’s lockdown potatoes.
