You cut a piece of the potato that contains 1-2 eyes. Usually this is done using left over storage potatoes that have begun spouting at the beginning of planting season in spring. These potatoes would have already been cured after the fall harvest and stored in a dark place with a temperature of 40degrees to prevent spoilage and sprouting till spring. The problem with potatoes bought from the supermarket is that unless it is already planting season they will rot by the time you need them.

When the skin turns green it means the potato was exposed to too much light. The green hue is an indicator that an alkaloid, called solanine, may be present under the skin of the potato.

It is toxic, however it would take a very large number of green potatoes to make you ill. This apllies to the green sprouts and skin.
