Can you eat potatoes that have been left in the ground from last year?

If the potatoes are still firm and the skin is not green, yes, then you may certainly eat them. When you harvest them, inspect them for diseased looking tubers. If the potatoes appear fine, then yes, you can also use them to start new potatoes.

Can you leave potatoes in the ground all winter?

In moderate or cold climates, potatoes can stay in the ground until the soil freezes in late fall or early winter. Some folks have success heavily mulching (with mulch like straw, wood chips, or shredded leaves) the patch to keep the soil from freezing and dig potatoes all winter long.
