(Actually, I was terrified of the eyes of potatoes when a child, hence the above.)
(BUT, wearin' o' the green is not good when it comes to potatoes. It is called solanine, and can be deadly, though I've read where frying and boiling diminish it. It is green [obviously], generally found just beneath the skin of the potato and is a natural defense mechanism for the plant. Yes, plants protect themselves! After all, they are living organisms, too.)
I made these, Irish Potatoes and Soda Breads-
(I guarantee there is no solanine in either.)
