  • small white raised spots on potato skins

    I have multiple small, white raised spots, a few mm in diameter on many of my potatoes. They appear superficial, disappearing almost completely when scrubbed with a veggie brush. Inside, the flesh looks healthy and they taste fine.

    I did find a couple that possiblly had blight - they were goey: pus-like, but only two spuds in 30 plants. There has been a little blight at the allotments.

    Additionally, there is a fair amount of what looks like scab, and some slug damage

    I had the white spots last year too - any idea what it is and what to do about it?

    Thanks

    If the potatoes taste fine, what's the issue?

      The white spots could be Swollen lenticels - could be caused by too much water in the soil, okay to eat but may not store as well as they may be more prone to soft rot, I would put them in the front of the eating queue
