Do you consider potatoes vegetables?

[Fizzzzle 1,123]

I mean, technically they are. I was just about to ask "what's your favorite vegetable," then I remembered potatoes are vegetables, and if you stack up a potato vs. a piece of broccoli, it's not really a contest.

I consider potatoes to be the “hero” of breakfast and excellent in many supporting roles.

I do, the Woman doesn't.

If you eat the skin, it's a veggie.

...also I was not aware that potatoes are originally from the Americas specifically.

My wife doesn't consider any of my favourite vegetables to be vegetables.  Potatoes, corn, garlic and onions.

re: potatoes, the line I hear from her the most is, "it's not a vegetable it's a starch".

Just tell her it's a tuber which is in fact a vegetable!

Many veggies have a lot of starch. It just has more than most. Potatoes are actually pretty nutritious, even without the skin! But it's a problem if it's your main source of vegetables because of its high carb content and the fact that's it's typically prepared with a lot of fat.
