No they are not, that is a wives tale.

it's not. they do contain glycoalcaloids, which are toxic. however, unless the skin has been exposed to sunlight during growth the concentration tends to be low.

Right, my knowledge was that the rest of the plant was poisonous, not the potato itself. But obviously once it starts sprouting it'll become poisonous.

I guess you're right on a technicality fair enough lolll

Thanks

no the tuber is also toxic when raw. it's just not very toxic. eat a few hundred grams though and you will have moderate issues.
