Sweet potato and yams are packed with more nutrition, but the regular old Idaho potato does have some good B vitamins. It is the processing of white potatoes into mashed mixes and the butter topping that makes white potatoes get a reputation for being unhealthy.
There are all kinds of potatoes in between, particularly the rarer heirloom varieties such as the purple peruvian mountain potato, the Japanese purple sweet potato, African Yam, and others that come in many colors, textures, and flavors. One should experiment with as many as possible. They're all great.
