What happens if you eat a sprouted potato?

The bottom line. Sprouted potatoes contain higher levels of glycoalkaloids, which can be toxic to humans when eaten in excess. Health problems linked to eating sprouted potatoes range from stomach upset to heart and nervous system problems, and, in severe cases, even death.

Can I eat potatoes that sprouted?

Ultimately, the best way to protect yourself is to toss out potatoes containing green patches or sprouting. However, if you do notice sprouting or a green tint in some areas, you can try and remove them with a sharp paring knife and still cook with the rest of the potato (although this isn't recommended).
