Are Sprouted Potatoes Safe to Eat?
The answer depends on how far the sprouting process has progressed.
If the Sprouts Are Small
If the potato is still firm and only has a few small sprouts, you may be able to save it.
Remove:
The sprouts
The “eyes”
Any green areas on the skin
Then peel the potato thoroughly before cooking.
If the Potato Is Wrinkled or Heavily Sprouted
If the potato has:
Multiple large sprouts
Wrinkled skin
A shriveled appearance
Soft spots
it’s best to throw it away.
