Y do ppl like potatoes?!


Question: Scientific answer ...

The body craves what it needs. Potatoes are a VERY complete food. In fact, you can live a rather healthy life on milk and potatoes alone for up to six months. Also, since it is a starch, it contains a lot of carbohydrates ... also known as sugar. Since the carbs in potatoes are complex carbs, you can prepare it as part of a savory meal, satisfying nearly all of your different taste buds. That's why bread is so good, too.


And now the simple answer ...

Because they're freakin' good!

because they are made into delicious potato chips and fries

Because you can cover the taste with heaps of butter, sour cream, bacon bits, and everything fattening.

haha i agree with jenna but seriously good question. My dad loves them and I have them at least 4 times a week and its really annoying!

LOVE THEM. Mahsed, raw, fried, baked, twice baked, you name it!

baked ~boiled~roasted~grilled~fried~mashed

i eat them because of the vitamins and minerals in them. they are healthy only if u baked em and eat the skin

because they are pretty healthy and taste good... they also contain a lot of carbohydrates!!!!!

Ask an Irish/American and he'll tell you a story about spuds

I love potatoes, very nutritious vegetable. I cook it every way you can imagine. in foods, on top of foods, as a side dish or on it's own baked & stuffed as a full meal. I make potato bread and potato scones as well.

I love every different variety and I suppose being Irish I'm predisposed to loving a good potato. I even like sweet potatoes.
