@testkitchen: Solanine poisoning causes gastrointestinal upset, headache, and dizziness, and in extreme cases can be fatal. Although you can tell from the color whether a potato has formed solanine, you can’t tell how much has formed. A shorter exposure to light, or exposure to certain types of light, may result in only a small amount of the toxin; longer exposures to ultraviolet light sources such as direct sun can form a lot. The good news is that the toxic layer typically extends no more than an eighth of an inch below the skin, so peeling off the green portion, and removing any eyes and shoots, will make a potato safe to eat.
