Hi Stella, the potatoes you roasted are safe to eat; when they become really shriveled and soft is when there is a concern and should be tossed. It is quite likely that the potatoes tasted sweeter as well; there are two reasons. The starches in the potatoes were slowly converting to sugar which caused them to soften. Secondly, roasting vegetables tends to bring out their sweetness in the best way; in this cause you not only had roasting to bring the sweet flavor out, you had starches that were changing, too.

Just to add to this amazing answer, if your potato has a small green layer, it's safe to eat, as long as you make sure you remove all the green parts. Otherwise, just throw it out.

PeteBecker, my understanding is that the green is caused exclusively by chlorophyll, and chlorophyll content of the potato correlates with solanine content, though they are produced by separate processes.
Note however, that solanine is concentrated near the skin of the potato and can be significantly reduced by peeling. More info — Muhd. Cultivars grown in the US have all been selected for low solanine content since at least the mid 80's.

Why keep them away from onions? Do the onions speed sprouting in a way similar to how apples slow it? Daniel Bingham: "Avoid storing potatoes with onions because, when close together, they produce gases that spoil both. Dinah Interesting, good to know! Thank you for that.
