Can the potatoes sprout still eat?

My mother bought me a lot of potatoes, but when I ate, I found that many of the potatoes sprouted. Can the potatoes sprout still be eaten?

    When the potatoes germinate, the skin turns green and the solanine content increases. Poisoning can occur when people consume 0.2-0.4 grams at a time. Symptoms usually appear 10 minutes to several hours after eating, stomach pain, tongue, pharyngeal numbness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea. In severe poisoning, body temperature rises, headache, and coma.
