    I promise...

    Tell your husband thanks for the scaremongering but he is full of crap.

    The green is the results of oxidisation which occurs when the potatoes are exposed to light (ie, they aren't fresh and the supermarket keep them in the bloody light anyhow).

    Anyway, yes, it is not healthy to eat green potatoes, and they can make you sick.
    BUT:
    By removing the green part to expose white (or fresh) flesh, you remove the toxin and therefore also ANY risk of ANY toxicity.

    In short, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with you, your baby or the potatoes, nor will there be.

    I hate when people say things like this with no understanding at all, especially to you! What was he hoping to achieve??

    Anyway, you will be perfectly fine and you did exactly what everyone human on earth does - cut off the green bit and cook the rest.
