Hi, Can green potatoes be used, prepared in some way to supplement weaners diet or should they be thrown? Thanks

No. Sorry to be short, but once green potatoes are poisonous. I keep mine for seed the following year, if there's been no scab or disease problems.
Hope that is of some help

Thanks for the comments, I thought not, that will teach me to put then away in the dark.
