Cooking potato tops? I understood that potato tops are NOT to be eaten: they’re loaded with solanine and oxalic acid, which causes cramps, nausea, and even, death. I’ve heard they don’t taste very good anyway (they are very bitter.)

Can you enlighten me?

Mrs Don-O What is a nice girl like you doing on a thread like this???

My remark about the tops was my frustration with my potatoes apparently going to foliage this year because of our late rains...
