Question
Why are my white potatoes hollow inside, with brown or black color to the potato?
This is most likely hollow heart, a naturally occurring internal defect that can develop when potatoes experience rapid or uneven growth in the field. It can create a hollow area in the center with some brown or dark discoloration around it. It is not a disease and is generally safe to eat after cutting away the affected area.
