Same here. Sprouted potatoes look absolutely horrible but I can't bring myself to throw out a bag of potatoes just because they look awful. Just cut away and boil or bake. It even creeps me out to even hold sprouted potatoes. I wonder what is it about sprouted potatoes that repulses people so much.

To be fair, the sprouts look like worms crawling out of the potato. I guess it's a good thing we find them repulsive, since they're poisonous.

The sprouts probably trigger heuristics for avoiding food with fungus growing on it.
