No they should not, but they may contain a poison called solanine which develops in all green parts of plants in the potato family when exposed to light (so don't eat green potatoes nor the green stems or leaves of potato plants).
Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family (solanaceae), such as potatoes. It can occur naturally in any part of the plant, including the leaves, fruit, and tubers. It is very toxic even in small quantities. Solanine has both fungicidal and pesticidal properties, and it is one of the plant's natural defenses.
