Are potatoes that have sprouted safe to eat? (need answer kinda fast)

That has happened to me occasionally. I simply severed them with a finger nail at skin level and cooked them. I never had a problem.

Kimera757 has just posted in another thread an interesting quotation

"A lot of older and wild varieties of potatoes have high concentrations of solanine; some new varieties tested high as well, but most have been taken off the commercial market. "
