Just found out today if they start to sprout even a little you shouldn't eat them?

NO, that's not right. If they turn green you shouldn't eat them. If they sprout in darkness, so the sprouts are white, just pluck the sprouts off and peel like normal.

Just don't eat green potatoes.

Potatoes being green is also unrelated to them sprouting it just happens when they get too much sunlight while growing

I've had potatoes in my fridge go green. So I don't think it's only when growing.

You're right I misremebered it. We usually grow our own potatatoes and there are already some green ones in there so I wrongly presumed it was only during growth
