yes, however, you can not consume potatoes if there are green specks growing from the tuber, denoting an excrescence of terraniaceous growth, which is poisonous( the leaves, stems, flowers, of potatoes, including all plants in the family solanacae are toxic). the potato, being the fleshy "body" of the plant, serves as the main center of nutrimental synthesis, and sends roots out from the center in order to procure the nutrients. they do not taste very good, but they are edible.

What to do when the potatoes are darkened?

These are actually shoots, not roots. If you plant these potatoes in the ground, preferably shoot side up (don't worry, they will find their own way up if you get them upsidedown), the shoots will emerge from the ground and form leaves. Meanwhile, roots will form on the underside of the potato, and eventually new potatoes will be borne as tubers on the roots near the crown. Sooooo...you can turn each of those potatoes into several potatoes!!! Or you can just pick off the shoots and eat the potatoes instead of planting them, it is up to you :)
