Depends very much on how you cook them. Boiled, baked or roasted they're OK, but as french fries or creamy MASH the're probably too fatty to be a good weight loss option. But as in all dieting issues you need to watch the amount.

Unfortunately, most people eat potatoes in the form of greasy French fries or potato chips, and they even load baked potatoes with fats. Such preparation can make even baked potatoes a potential contributor to a heart attack or stroke. But take away the extra fat, and a baked potato is an exceptionally healthful low-calorie, high-fiber food that offers significant protection against cardiovascular disease and cancer. While they are a starchy food, potatoes can be somewhat good for you as long as you don't deep fry them or cover them in unhealthy condiments. For example, a baked potato with chives on it is considered healthy.
