Potato leaves?

I could be wrong, but I was always led to believe that potato leaves are poisonous, unless perhaps the article refers to the leaves of sweet potatoes? Invertzoo (talk) 12:48, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, potato leaves, and all parts of the plant save the familiar tubers, are toxic. Sweet potato leaves are edible. So, what's up?Wetman (talk) 18:09, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Invertzoo and Wetman: I don't know. The source states, "in Mie prefecture, locals added potato leaves and chopped daikon to katemeshi." It's possible that the source is incorrect. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:23, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the source was told "potato leaves" and assumed they were from regular potatoes. I do know that, for example, in the island I visit in Caribbean, "potato" means sweet potato, and regular potatoes are called "Irish potatoes". Maybe something similar is also true in Mie prefecture.
