Potatoes are a source of starch, and hence of calories. We are accustomed to thinking of calories as being something we try to avoid because we often get too many of them and become fat, however, we do need a certain amount of calories in our diet. Too many makes you fat, too few makes you thin, and in an extreme case, a lack of calories in the diet will cause death by starvation. So calories have their place.
