I always wondered about potatoes green under the skin.

Does this Snopes article deal with all-green, or just under skin?

Anybody have the skinny on this?

This is very conservative advice. I have eaten many potatoes (after
peeling) that were green under the skin and never tasted any solanine nor
suffered any ill effects. But if it suits you to lay in bed at night
fretting about the next chemical attack upon your person then plant your
green taters.
