The scepticism mainly comes from people acting like eating only potatoes for a week would be bad (people do this potato cleanse thing). I don't mean that I'm sceptical of all nutrition but I do think that there's lots of fake nutrition information that doesn't hold up.

I agree that there's so much delicious things to eat that it doesn't make sense to only eat potatoes. I'm only doing it for a month. When I say I'll always eat more potatoes I mean it's my goto lazy food.

I went two weeks without eating anything other then potatoes and a gross tasting multivitamin. Finally I ate half a tiny KitKat and the taste was far better then I remembered. I think eating bland potatoes can help make other food even more pleasurable.

The Irish supposedly out "grew" the English because the Irish were limited to a potato and milk diet, which was much better nutritionally than common English fare.

"grew" essentially meaning taller/healthier on average.

Please at least eat some form of green vegetable. Steamed brussels sprouts with maybe some salt or a bagged salad without dressing if you don't want to significantly add calories. I don't think an all-potato diet is going to do your guts many favors.

My friend roasted some for a dinner party and they were beyond amazing. Avocado oil, salt, and pepper.
