The potato and the tomato, as roots/fruits, will not do any harm, it's the plants they grow on that should be avoided. You may eat and enjoy a potato or a tomato and come to no harm. Eat a potato or tomato plant and, if you don't snuff it, you won't be very well. The toxicity is in the plant, not the fruit.
