I don't recommend waste often, but if they're already beginning to
sprout, toss 'em. Do *not* just leave them, as potatoes can decay into
fairly nasty messes. 10lb of potatoes isn't a major investment, and if
you haven't used a fair amount of them before they began sprouting,
perhaps you need to buy in smaller quantities anyhow.
