"Everybody knows" that sprouting potatoes are poisonous. But what degree is "sprouting"? I have one here, a large blue truffle potato, from each eye of which was growing a 1/2 cm long cluster of sprouts. I scraped them off and dug out the first few mm of flesh under them, and the potato under there looks fine. Is this safe to cook with, specifically boiling and cubing it for use in a leftover-lamb-roast pie? Is it only safe for adult-type humans? I'm breastfeeding a six-month-old; does that make any difference, or are we talking a strictly safe potato here?
Thanks, Katrina
As long as you get rid of ALL of the green coloring, I understand you should be ok??? -- K.
For the curious, it had no green about it, so I peeled it, cut out any trace of eyes, boiled and cubed it, and distributed it evenly through the pie. Pie was good, nobody having any problems here. --Katrina
