I agree with you that raw veggies are better for you than cooked, but where did you get the idea that raw potatoes are poisonous? I spent my summers as a child on a potato farm and ate raw potatoes often!
The tops of the plant (the green stuff above ground) ARE poisonous...the potatoe plant is part of the nightshade family.
