    I’m just sick and tired of the “don’t you know they’re toxic” response to finding out I eat raw ones. My people, if they were toxic I wouldn’t be eating them because it would have made me ill. 🤦 Someone eating a whole bag of potato chips is gonna take in more solanine than I will eating one raw, peeled potato.

    Hell, there are places that do baked/fried potato skins as an appetizer, when the skin is where the solanine is concentrated, and often can rise above the safe threshold. It’s even suggested to eat a small piece of potato skin raw to determine if the solanine levels are safe, as it tastes very bitter.
