Best Answer

Potatoes don't change color. The outside of the potato is the skin. And depending on the variety the inside can range in color from white to yellow, red, purple and blue. Just as the skin can range from brown to yellow, red, purple and blue. The flesh can also react to oxygen and slightly discolor.

Ordinarily, yes, if the potato in question is a Russett or Idaho white potato. It might have a rotten interior. It might also be very much over-done.
