Because raw potato is not nice to eat and very hard to digest. However, how appetizing a vegetable is depends on how it is cooked and the individual's personal preferences. Digesting a raw potato is no more difficult than digesting any other root/tuberous vegetable, such as carrots and radishes. You can sprinkle a little salt or other seasoning on them and it them raw. You can put raw potatoes in salads just as you would put carrots or radishes. Raw potatoes retain more nutrients than cooked potatoes. According to the Bureau of Home Economics.
