The average potato has 0.075 mg solanine/g potato, which is equal to about 0.18 mg/kg based on average daily potato consumption. [ 19 ] Calculations have shown that 2 to 5 mg/kg of body weight is the likely toxic dose of glycoalkaloids like solanine in humans, with 3 to 6 mg/kg constituting the fatal dose. [ 20 ]
Deep frying potatoes at 170°C (338°F) is known to effectively lower glycoalkaloid levels (because they move into the frying fat), as does boiling (because solanine is water soluble), while microwaving is only somewhat effective, and freeze drying or dehydration has little effect.[10] [11] This does not make sense to me.

The inflorescence is a raceme about 90 cm (35 in) above water and composed of white flowers whorled by threes, blooming from July to September. [10] The flowers are about 2–4 cm ( 3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) wide [ 10 ] and usually divided into female on the lower part and male on the upper of the plant, although some specimens are dioecious .
