God it's just so unhealthy.

Although admittedly, I had read on Wikipedia you could meet all your nutrional needs by surviving on just potatoes and milk. It's all carbs though. I'd push for a lot more veggies & protein.

I read somewhere that the potato introduced to Ireland (of Potato Famine fame) was a nutritionally complete potato, in that it had a bunch of vitamins and protein in addition to carbohydrates.

I guess there's a whole lot of potato varieties, but the ones that spread around the world were the most stable and consistent. And white.
