Not bad for the wallet either. My local shop sells potatoes for USD$1.61 for 8.8 lb (that's AUD$2.50 for a 4-kilo bag) which provides bang on 3000 kcal.

Looking at a 4 kg bag it would be so hard to eat anywhere near one bag every day, I just could not imagine getting through that volume.

IIRC from last time this was posted, the hypothesis for why most people felt really good on this diet was a nutrient deficiency in most diets that's addressed by potatoes
