I'm actually eating potatoes more often after learning that they're quite nutritious.

Cheapest meal. I make a lot on the weekend then eat them all week.

A diet of potatoes and some dairy is nutritionally complete for humans!

Yep. The main concern with potatoes is their high glycemic index and rapid blood sugar rise which is similar to that seen after eating white sugar. If eaten properly they are a great dietary addition. Diabetics and those with other restricted diets have more specially tailored instructions but for those without issues the rule of thumb is just to not to overdo it.
