What to do when the potatoes are darkened?
These are actually shoots, not roots. If you plant these potatoes in the ground, preferably shoot side up (don't worry, they will find their own way up if you get them upsidedown), the shoots will emerge from the ground and form leaves. Meanwhile, roots will form on the underside of the potato, and eventually new potatoes will be borne as tubers on the roots near the crown. Sooooo...you can turn each of those potatoes into several potatoes!!! Or you can just pick off the shoots and eat the potatoes instead of planting them, it is up to you :)

Potatoes plants produce flowersfruits and seeds.Yetthey never grow from seeds.Why?
Potatoes are usually grown from seed potatoes which are neatly cut from a potato to have one to two "eyes" which are the buds.The reason why potatoes do not follow the regular convention of flowers and seeds is because they are underground shoots i.e their roots store starch to form tubers and from these starch deposits,new shoots grow.
