    My new spuds have white spots on.

    Hi,
    Have just been down the plot to have a quick poke about at the new potatoes when I have quite a few with little white spots on. If you scrape the skin with your nail then they come off.
    So does this mean I have a major problem or are they safe to eat?
    Am I going to have to dig the whole lot up or can I leave them?
    The ground they are in is a bit heavy but not clay.
    Thanks
