It it's just some surface mold and the potato is firm, I just peel it
deeper than normal and use it up. If it's going soft I toss it. I check
each potato individually, and I use them all up right away by making a
batch of potato salad or roast potatoes.

I hate wasting food, and I have never become sick from any salvaged
potatoes, week old leftovers, etc. I'm not sure why I hate wasting food,
I grew up somewhat poor, but never short of food. I have a friend who
often tosses half a plate of food after dinner and it drives me nuts.
