lynn Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Are potatoes that have sprouted eyes safe to eat if they are cut off and peeled? I am reading everything from no way to okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yes. Perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yes, but I would only use in a soup or stew or something where they pull in the flavors of other things. You don't want to use them for roasted potatoes or something where you want the potato flavor to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yes. We've eaten them with no ill effects. (PS - how can you be way off topic on the chat board? We have no topic!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yes. Consider putting them into a soup, or mashing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abba12 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yep, just not for roasting/baking where it is a standalone flavour. We usually use them for mashing. No issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So long as you cut off the sprouted eyes, then they're just fine. (And for that matter, if there's only a tiny amount of sproutedness, then it's still fine even if you miss plucking it off.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
