Now i have doubt, is there any problem with eating potatos that have sprouted while in storage?

A friend told me i'm supposed to cut that whole section away

 

[khimbar]

Cut the green bits off they should be fine. I think.

Now you have me wondering too...

Or plant them. Keep them watered and by magic get free potatoes.

 

[Scuzi]

No.

 

[Tripnologist]

Cut the sprouts off as they're high in solanine which is a toxin. The rest of the potato should be fine.

 

[utajoker]

if you do the potato will continue to grow in your stomach and you will turn into a mr potato.

They're highly poisonous and you will probably end up in hospital.

You will be fine. I learnt this first hand from my mother who is probably the worlds tightest person lol.

We live on a potato farm, and harvest about 1000 tonnes of spuds a year, yet she still insists on feeding us on the rejected stock feed and green ones.

Jesus Christ man, its a disgrace that you're not based in Ireland! Cork or Ballymena, tight fisted havens

The easy answer od No, sprouting potatoes won't kill you. Just cut off the bits that look a bot dodgy.

 

[Edinho]

Yes you will die.

disclaimer : daft question merits daft answer.

You're going to eventually turn into a potato.

Seek medical advice. If it was within the last 24 hours you may just become a Jersey Royal, after that period you're going to become a King Edward.

Plant it! More potatoes can only be a good thing.

I should have died years ago then. In fact, I think we made that mash out of a couple of sprouting 'tatos tonight! Still, some of us are made of sterner stuff!

I think they're really weird.

a couple of girls did this at work, it just grew bigger spouts lol (I will try finding the picture lol)

just cut them off, should be fine. never eat green potatoes though as it's bad for you.
