What kind of food is this?
A starchy tuber. Per 100g: 59 kcal and 17.3g carbohydrate — about twice the average of the vegetables in our database.
Its role differs from leafy greens that add concentrated vitamins and minerals: it is a food that contributes energy from carbohydrate.
Raw starch is hard to digest, so always cook it thoroughly.
How to serve
Cut out the sprouts and any parts where the skin has turned green, removing them deeply. These parts are high in solanine, which is not destroyed by cooking. Do not use small, unripe potatoes or ones that have turned greenish from sunlight.

In food-energetics terms
In traditional food energetics it is classified as "neutral" — it neither warms nor cools the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
