Wht is the cause of these spuds they looked perfect nice pink with some sprouting. The flesh was firm but when slicing them more than half the spuds were bruised it looked like forst damage. except for the firm good looking outer flesh.
Is it some sort of disease or just bad handling?
Sounds like blight.
You'd have no idea until you came to cook them. Absolute s***ty spuds then.
That's the one:
The disease shows up first on the haulm (green leaves), so whoever lifted the spuds must have known they were defective.
They have been stored in the light and have germinated
Tubers "germinate". It's temperature that causes tubers to sprout. They go green if stored in light.
