Looking through the site that David linked to I tripped over this....

Is that what you're describing?



No, that's not it. The black bits I refer to are mostly away from the
core of the potato, sometimes bordering the sides. I'll take a photo
the next time I peel some and post it.

I get them regularly: I'm quite surprised people are having difficulty
in knowing what you mean. I don't remember the problem when I used to
grow my own, though, so perhaps it's something to do with the storage,
sorting, or packing of Murphies on the industrial scale? Could they be
simply bruises, or some condition originating in a bruise?
