It is rare to see one with a green skin in a grocery. If you place one in a well-lit place it will often turn deep green, and this can be seen better when you cut away some of the skin. Dad said only the green ones were really toxic. I can't recall the article which discussed naturally occurring toxins in vegetables, but it was in the context of the toxicity of pesticides; a manufacture of pesticides was defending his product by pointing out that the toxins in some vegetables are more toxic than his stuff. I really don't know anything authoritative about the subject.

Never noticed any problems eating it. Marshall "James Osbourne, Holmes" wrote: > I have read a report [years ago] that potatoes contain in their skin > an incredibly potent insecticide.
