Potatoes Turn Black

[lynbrown]

I boiled some new baby pots at lunchtime, meaning to have a potato salad for my tea. I have just discarded about half of them as they had turned black. My husband says they are OK but I wont eat them. What happened to make them go discoloured and black?

There has recently been another thread about black potatoes. Is it a 2018 potato malady?
