If they are peeled and turning black, you are still baking at too high a temperature. Try covering the dish with foil, and never bake potatoes over 350°F. Again, boiling them first will help ensure full cooking.

How can a potato light a light bulb?

The potato contains phosphoric acid, and this acid, when placed between two electrodes (one of copper and one of zinc) will product a small voltage. This is a simple electrochemical cell (a battery). Make several and connect them in series to increase the voltage, and with this setup, an investigator can light a light bulb.

Using several potatoes and strips of zinc and copper, make the cells. Copper wire and galvanized nails (which are coated with zinc) will make good electrodes. There are a number of sites on the web to review how it's done. YouTube even posts some good short vids on these handy science projects.

Are potato sprouts poisonous?

Potato Sprouts are toxic (poisonous) A sprout of any size can be toxic, but you'd have to eat many sprouts to get sick. Do not buy if they have sprouted or have a green tint to the skin. There is no problem with the potato; just cut off the sprouts, and it's fine for eating. The same is true for potatoes that turn a greenish hue. A potato in this condition is "light-struck" which causes a build-up of a chemical called Solanine. This is a natural reaction to the potato being exposed to too much light. The green part, if eaten in large quantity, can cause illness. If there is slight greening, cut away the green portions of the potato skin before cooking and eating.

How many types of potatoes are there in all types?

There are more than 575 + types of potatoes and the list is probably still growing since they are crossbred all the time. However potatoes can be more generally broken down by their skin: Russet, Red, Yellow, White, Blue and Purplest from flavour, Sweet, flowery, hard, bitter, easy cook, long cook , etc

and some potatoes are evolving bigger and new.4500 to date. mostly from Peru where they originate from. Cross breeding is not the problem , they are looking for a breed that is stronger than any blight , disease and still easy to grow in arid regions of the world. All plants need water but any type of tuber need more than the rest. But as long as the water is not infected then washing up water would be OK as long as it is not fed from above but allowed to trickle in from below ground when the earth itself can filter it. Survival of the fittest. potatoes are one of those which do but also need feeding the correct way. Peru is quite an arid country but they use their land and water courses frugally, they plant near or as close to where water is available. New potatoes are small because they have not had enough time to grow, that is fine because they taste good, but so does a week old Lamb. (sorry veggie eater's younger it is the tastier it is.

I hope there is!
