Can you cook a potatoe once it grows roots

[Sweet_Pip]

Oh no, this is terrible, cmon people, potatoes don’t grow roots, they are the roots, what grows out of them is shoots, dear o dear oh dear, basic fruit and veg knowledge, is there any hope?

Technically they’re a “stem tuber”, not a root

You can cook anything, but should you eat them is more the question…lol. Be wary of green potatoes though.

Now I know why you can just drink beer in the UK.

I did happen to read today that once they begin to sprout if you see a green layer under the skin that you should cut that part away and discard it. The green layer contains a toxin. It could make you ill but you would have to eat a lot of it to die.

I know that you can PEEL your potatoes twice??? Most of us do it here on a fu*king daily basis!!! LOL!!!
