No White, Spaghetti-Like Things at Inishkea!

Reading up about chitting (unusual word!)
'Keep an eye on your potatoes whilst they chit and wait for strong, short green shoots to appear (4-6 weeks) about 2-3cms long from the eyes of each tuber. You don’t want the white, spaghetti-like things you get when potatoes are kept in the dark in a cupboard, but stout green and pink things.

If you want to maximize the size of your potatoes, rub off all but three or four at the top end of the tuber before planting out. If you leave all the shoots intact, but you’ll end up with lots of small ones. It’s up to you to decide.'

It does reminds me of when I was little with the potatoes in the egg boxes chitting.
