I'm honestly just wondering what people think (that and possibly using this in a friendly debate off of Vizzed ).


I'm pretty sure it counts as a vegetable. There's no way it's a fruit and it's not really grain-like.

Why yes Potatoes are tuber vegetables In our Society we categorize potatoes as vegetables however the potatoes are starchy like grain and rice so some people may not consider it a vegetable. It is also a root vegetable since it doesn't carry out any seeds like carrots and radishes. Hmm.. If I made any mistake please tell me this is all I know about Potato lol... ^.^"

I was always told that potatoes were starches. But if it has to be classified as a fruit or a vegetable, then it's definitely a vegetable because it doesn't contain any seeds.

BNuge : Yeah I think yes because you use it as vegetables and cooked as curry;  e.g smashed potatoes.

It is basically a serving of starch. It is more of a root or tuber than a vegetable, and definitely not a grain. Sweet potatoes, yams, and cassava, are some other edible tubers.

There are two schools of though on this... that they are "starchy vegetables of the tuber family", or that "they are tubers, which is neither vegetable nor fruit."

I wish there was an "I am unsure" option.

Most vegetables I know are grown in the ground and potatoes are grown in the ground so the potatoes have to count as a vegetable.

Yeah, they do. Vegetables count when it is grown from the ground and I believe potatoes are grown via from the ground. Like mike said, it counts.

Potatoes are roots/tubes, therefore they are underground, and vegetables grow underground, so yes, they are vegetables.

No, I would not consider them as vegetable honestly. I consider them to be a "starch", the only one that I know of, so I just call them potatoes... they have their own little category there.

Very good question.

Honestly, I'm unsure because Potato's are fattening whereas vegetables are healthy and non fattening, so I wouldn't consider it a vegetable.

I guess the answer would be no....=/

It's actually considered a starch among foods, but among plants, it's a root vegetable. So it can be both, I guess.

Why is everyone saying that a potato IS a starch? It is a root that HAS a lot of starch in it. If a potato was a starch, it would be microscopic. It is also considered a vegetable. The presence of starch doesn't determine that. It grows like radishes, beets, onions, etc.

Culinarily, it is definitely used as a vegetable. I am not sure of further classification about it. I'm not an expert in potatology lol.
