Title: OK to eat sprouting potatoes dug up now?
Post by: JohnB47 on January 07, 2012, 15:45

Just found a few forgotten maris piper and kestrel plants. Spuds still in v good condition but sprouting. Is it OK to rub off the sprouts and eat?

THanks.

Just make sure they are not green all over. The spuds, I mean.
