Answers:
you can peel them and peel off all the green bits!. The green means it has been exposed to the sunlight, and it can make you sick, but you can normally peel the green bits off!.

If not, take them back to the shop and try to explain that you are colour blind so didn't notice the colour, and they should be understanding and give a refund!. keep the receipt though!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have read that it's not safe to eat the peels of green potatoes!. I have also accidentallylpurchased them before and have peeled them to boil, mash, use in soups etc!. When peeled, usually the green peels away!.
I don't think they would sell them in the stores if they were dangerous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Green potatoes contain a poisonous alkaloid called solanine

Take them back, im sure they will exchange them for another bag!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO, they are NOT safe to eat! It means that are poisonous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

how green is green!?

I'd return them to the store if the entire potato was dark green!.!.!. but they are edible!.!.!. just peel off all of the green until you get down to the white of the potato!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Green potatoes can carry botulism, which can make people ill if they are eaten!. Because of this I've heard green potatoes are not safe to eat!. Take them back and swap or ask for refund!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

no they are not safe because i heard if potatoes are green, they will make you sick!. Get rid of them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
