Bad idea. Sprouted potatoes go into the garbage
around here. Potatoes are cheap. Not worth the
risk of solanine poisoning.

By the way, solanine is not green. Cutting the
green parts out of a potato does not protect
against solanine poisoning. If there's any
green, I assume the whole potato is unwholesome
and throw it out. If you routinely encounter
green potatoes, you need to review your food
handling procedures.

And to those idiots on America's Test Kitchen
who recommended putting green potatoes in the dark
to reverse the greening, I've never heard of that
before. Even if it did reverse the greening,
I would not trust that the solanine would be gone.
I'm willing to bet their lives on it, but not mine.
