https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanine It seems like most of the fatalities were related to food shortages, ie people eating very bad potatoes they wouldn't have normally eaten. Alkaloids have a strong bitter taste that makes it difficult to consume enough of them to do harm. Unless you're starving. My point was just that concentrations in a normal potato, that's turned a little green on the counter are far below anything you need to worry about. If you want to be especially cautious, peel it. But it's a bit of waste to throw them away. Definitely don't eat the sprouts, or the greens of any nightshade.
