I have some red potatoes that has like sproputs on it is it safe to eat?!


Question: I have had them for like 2 weeks.


Answers: I have had them for like 2 weeks.

If they are still hard then yes, all you have to do is just cut those parts off, but if the potatoes are kinda soft then they are no longer good.

I am not sure what a sproput is.

Yep, just cut those sprouts off.

yes they are ok to eat ,if you can snap them off with your fingers

yes just cut the sprouts off they are also called eyes.

Sure, especially if they are still firm, just tear the sprouts . If your using them some other way...peel them. It won`t hurt you, I promise. Red potatoes are delicious. Matter of a fact, last night , I had to cut sprouts off mine and I`m still alive.
Good luck in all your cooking.

Even the potatoes at the store will have the beginnings of a sprout on them. Just make sure the potatoes are still hard. Just cut them out- cut out a little larger than the sprout. Directly under the sprout (eye), the potato will be much darker in color. If all you see is the same light color, then you’ve got it all. The end of the potato peeler will get it out perfectly.

just take off sprouts and around the sprouts.
you can eat if you want.
sprouts and its aroud has poison.

Take all the sprouts off & if they still feel firm; they are ok to eat. I just did that yesterday with a 10# bag I forgot I had. I had to peel all the potatoes & put them in a big stainless steel pan covered with water & store in fridge. I'm using some tomorrow for potato pancakes to go with salmon pattys. Just make sure you never eat the part with the sprouts; they are deadly poisononous.
