When deciding if you can eat sprouted potatoes, assess the risk: While small sprouts will likely cause no harm, significant sprouting could make you sick.
In Too Afraid to Ask, we’re answering food-related questions that may or may not give you goosebumps. Today: Are sprouted potatoes safe to eat? Are your potatoes displaying mysterious green spots? Growing tentacles that reach out to you every time you open the pantry? Known as sprouted potatoes, the phenomenon is all too common: You ambitiously purchased the XL bag of spuds, cooked through a few of our favorite potato recipes, then forgot about the remainder in the back of your pantry.
Then use the rest of the potato however you please—in ultra-silky, all-American mash, perfect baked potatoes, or crispy-creamy Potatoes au Gratin. But, if those spuds look like they’ve grown arms and legs and are ready to put up a fight—we’re talking super-long roots, potato eyes that look like they’re staring back at you, extensive growths that are reaching for the sun, it’s probably best to toss them.
