Choosing Good Potatoes
Is there a way to tell if the potato I purchase at a grocery store is good to eat? I ask because I recently purchased a red skinned potato that was green just underneath the skin and it wasn't that good.

Yummy Hamburger Soup
Brown 1 pound of hamburger in a Dutch Oven with 1 cup of chopped onions and 2 teaspoons salt. Add 1 cup of chopped, peeled carrots and 1 cup of chopped, peeled potatoes. A teaspoon of parsley is nice but optional. Then add a quart of homemade tomatoes and a cup or two of water and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Taste for salt and serve with a slice of homemade bread or a biscuit. I often have seconds.
