Potatoes aren't "fattening", either. One large baked potato in its jacket with nothing on it is only 165 calories. It's not the potato that's unhealthy or fattening. It's the crap that people pile on it that is.

Such as
Quotechili, sour cream, cheese, etc.

Sure they can be.  In America potatoes are relegated mainly to side dishes, but they can make up the main course as well.

False.

I stopped and got broccoli on the way home, and we have leftover asparagus from last night. The sour cream is low-fat. The cheese and chili are fine in small amounts.

Moderation, my friend, is key.

You've never heard of cheesy ham and potatoes or potato soup?

In Ukraine, it was an annual tradition to obtain a sack of potatoes before the winter season and store it in one's subdivision of the apartment building basement.  One potato dish or another is pretty much all you consumed during the winter, since most other foodstuffs were out of season or too expensive.  It makes you appreciate the choice of foodstuffs when you have it.

Truly a worker's paradise.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
