what happens if you eat a green potato?

Potatoes will often go green when they're not stored properly and they're exposed to light. This is due to formation of chlorophyll (which is found in all green plants), however the green colour is a useful indicator that levels of certain toxins that are harmful to humans, known as glycoalkaloids, may be increased.

@Redstar crap.

@Redstar I've gotten a few that had a green tint, but they turned brown again after sitting for a couple of days. Why is that?

@perceptivei I'm no gardner but that doesn't sound possible.

@Redstar I don't know. That's how I remember it. I could be wrong. 🤷‍♀️
