- dragonsky67 6y agoI'm guessing the potato police would swoop in and inspect your spuds for signs of peeling prior to cooking. Got to watch out for the might PP (potato police). ;-)
- hinkley 6y agoMaybe we didn't know that then, but that's actually dangerous. As potatoes start to go 'off' it starts to turn green on the outside, and the green bits contain alkyloids that are hell on the liver. You have to peel at least past the green.
