Does a potato as vegetable serving or grain serving?

A potato is considered a starchy vegetable.

Here's why:

* Botanically: Potatoes are the starchy underground tubers of a plant.

* Nutritionally: Potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, making them a good source of energy. However, they also contain some vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and potassium.

* Culinary: Potatoes are often used in dishes that would typically be considered "vegetable-based," like salads, stews, and stir-fries.

While potatoes can be a source of carbohydrates, they are not considered a grain. Grains are seeds from grasses, like wheat, rice, and corn.
