I love potatoes too @jeezzle, potato is one type of tubers that contain carbohydrates, for diabetics potato is a food substitute for rice. but in terms of processing potatoes, boiled potatoes are better for health than french fries, because boiled potatoes are more protein rich, especially potassium minerals, phosphorus and vitamin B complex, boiled potatoes lower in calories and fat but lots of fiber that helps us feel fuller. while the fried potatoes plus butter and cream then will increase the caloric content significantly. potatoes can also be processed into a variety of other foods, such as potato porridge, potato salad and others. a great post @jeezzle about the benefits of this potato. good luck for you
