Did you lose weight while on it? Any benefits you noticed?

Having recently given birth, and breast-feeding, is (Ahem) the mother of all confounding factors

I lost 60 pounds of pregnancy weight that year, so it's hard to tell, but I didn't notice any particular change in my weight loss rate during the potato diet.

Breastfeeding is the second most calorie intensive (prolonged) experience most people will have, right after pregnancy.

Obviously sprinting burns a lot of calories at once, but making milk happens all day, and you don't have to breathe those calories out.

Even if they did lose weight, it would be challenging to differentiate this from the insane calorie pull that happens to your body while breastfeeding.

It was all deep fried. It wasn’t just potatoes but a lot of fat.

It was certainly not all deep fried. Gross. I'd have been sick the whole time.
