Small Green Patches
If a potato is firm and otherwise looks healthy, with only a small green area, you may be able to use it after peeling it generously and cutting away all green portions, including the surrounding flesh. Remove any sprouts and eyes as well.
However, removing the green skin does not guarantee that all glycoalkaloids have been removed. If the potato remains green beneath the skin or you are unsure how extensive the discoloration is, it is safer to discard it.
Avoid trying to save questionable portions simply
