Are light, dark spots (not deep) on red potato skin bad to eat?

I'd prefer not to peel the skin but after removing the deep spots, I
ended up peelign when I saw too many light spots. What are those?

You mean faint dark spots? Not a problem.

If you mean faintly dark spots, just signs the potato is starting to wilt.
Harmless til the whole thing gets bad. I cut them out because taste
suffers.

I thought so. After I bought it, I got too busy and was eating
out.

I figured that it wouldn't tastethe same. I bought quite a bit (for
one person) and I cooked 3 today with beef. I should cook the rest
soon.

Thansk for the info.
