What food group is a Potato in?

Question

I'm working on a science project and need some help understanding which food group potatoes belong to. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thank you!

Although a potato is loaded with carbohydrates is is in the fruit and vegetable group along with corn and peas which are both also high in carbs.

Potatos are starchy veggies! They and some other things like dried beans and lentils should be in the breads and grains grouping but are in the fruit and veggie group in the current food pyramid. If I were sorting foods into groups the groups would be Proteins Vegetables Starches Sweets

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren’t necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/yGuSc

As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I’ve been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Potatoes are tubers, like–get this–peanuts.  Nutritionally, I’m not sure if it’s considered a vegetable or what; they are high in starch.

As a food, potatoes act as starches (like grains).  Technically, they’re root veggies, but they act as starches.

It is a carb, but it’s also a veggie.
Some foods fit in more than one category.
