My red potatoes seem to have an unusually high amount of eyes. Should I cut them out? - Sliced Lemon on Blue Chopping Board

I got a large bag of red potatoes from costco, but it has a lot of eyes and probably 100 dimples all over it. I peeled the first one and extracted the deep eyes and it looks good underneath (no green), but why isn't it smooth like I expected? Is it safe?

Not a duplicate, it has not sprouted.

Is it OK to eat red potatoes that have sprouted?

By Leah Brickley for Food Network Kitchen The short answer is yes. Potatoes that have sprouted are still OK to eat, but only once you've removed the sprouts.

Do you cut the eyes out of red potatoes?

The eyes are sprouts that can be planted to grow potato plants. However, if you'd rather eat potatoes than grow them, remove the eyes and cook the potatoes well.

Can you eat potatoes with lots of eyes?

Potatoes are safe to eat, even after they've sprouted, as long as they are still firm to the touch, don't look too wrinkly and shriveled, and the sprouts are small. There are, however, toxin concerns with potato sprouts, so you need to remove the sprouts and ensure that the potato isn't too far gone.

Why are my potatoes growing eyes?

Potatoes, unlike other garden crops, are usually not grown from small seeds. Instead, they grow from small cubes of tubers cut into chunks with at least two " potato eyes" known as seed potatoes. These eyes are what sprout and form new tubers underground for digging and eating.
