All nightshade plants contain poisonous alkaloids in some parts under some conditions. That doesn’t mean that a properly grown and stored potato can kill you.
The main toxin in most nightshades is solanine. Tomatoes produce a less toxic variant called tomatine. Ripe tomatoes have minuscule amounts of it. The leaves have a much higher amount, which is why people don’t eat the leaves.
