Whilst digging some of the maincrop, I noticed that one plant had
a couple of potatoes on the surface which were green, I covered
them hoping that they would lose the green and become edible.

They will lose the green, but whether they become edible is a different
matter, in other words it is possible that they will lose the green but
still retain the high levels of solanin which were produced when they
were green.
