While eating potatoes that have turned green is ill-advised,
it shouldn't be a problem to save them for seed the following Spring, as long as
they are otherwise in good condition. The substance that makes them mildly
toxic, solanin, doesn't interfere with the tuber's ability to sprout and grow
the next season, nor will it translate into the new tubers the following season,
unless they too are exposed to light. I've saved them before with good
results.
