A member asked:

Bought a bag of potatoes, many of them are green, and i had to shave off much of them to get to the regular white color. are they even safe to eat period? can i shave (with a potatoe peeler) the green parts off till its just the regular color?

It may be ok if there's only a small amount of green spots which can be shaved. I think most people would toss the potatoes that have green areas.
