I just ate 3 days expired potatoes, Should I be worried?

No. They last about 3-5 weeks in the pantry and 3-4 months in the refrigerator. Unless they're all wrinkly and moldy, it's totally fine to eat them.

As long as they weren't green, rotting, or had any visible signs of infestation from bugs, you're probably 100% fine.

You should be fine as long as they didn't taste really bad as well. Potatoes are very resilient, any food poisoning you could get from them would have to come from outside - like contamination from other food like chicken, or by infestations like mould. Potatoes kept by themselves which look fine and taste fine are pretty much guaranteed to be fine.

Your country has expiration dates on potatoes? Wtf? Do you also have expiration dates on fruits and vegetables?
It's called "best before date", or minimum date, that doesn't mean it's rotten one day later, the same with every other grocery, it's not a maximum date.
So no, you will be absolutely fine.

Potatoes should be good long after their "best by" date. Just check 'em for fungus and mold first.
Yep, I've eaten carrots that a week past their use by date and theres nothing wrong with them. Food is pretty good at telling you something is up with it, it's either visible (mould, discolouring), tactile (like when onion and potatoes are soft) or you'll smell it.
