Default Planting potatoes that turned Green

Hi

I kept potatoes in the garage from last year but light got to them and
they turned green...They have started sprouting recently and i was
wondering if it was safe to plant them...
Thanks in advance.

Certainly: they're just doing what comes naturally. The only thing is
that if your garage is heated, I wonder if the shoots may get a bit
long, and so more vulnerable to frost. Still just "thinking aloud", if
they do seem rather well-developed at planting time, I'd think about
putting them in a week or two later than normal (whatever "normal" is
for your area); but it probably doesn't matter.
