Best Answer

You can eat raw potatoes. They have a starchier taste than cooked potatoes and have a hearty crunch!

Actually, the tubers of the potato plant are somewhat poisonous in their raw state due to an alkaloid called solanine. Excessive intake of raw potatoes can cause liver, heart, and gastrointestinal damage.

Because of an alkaloid called solanine that is present in the raw vegetable but is eliminated in the cooking process. Excessive ingestion of raw potato can lead to heart, liver, and gastrointestinal damage.
