True.

Getting the occasional green-ish spud is one reason I mostly refuse to
purchase them bagged.

I nearly always hand-pick them from the bins.
The one exception was a couple of bags of baby reds I bought recently.

Green ones are rare, but I still look over every one while I'm washing
them.

I also store them in the dark to prevent any risk of greening.

We don't eat many potatoes here tho'. 1/2 of one of those bags of baby
reds got left in storage long enough to sprout. ;-) I'm fixin' to pot
them just for grins.
