It is a vegetable, Although considered a starch due to it's High Carbohydrate (and Calorie) Content, and ability to be used for breads. A potato is 7% resistant Starch.
A potato is a starch like corn is; a carrot is a root, similar to the rutabaga. I hope this tutorial in rudimentary veggie differences has helped.
Potato more than onion, but both have some.
Potato is composite of relatively high amount of starch and sugar. Longer you store potato or more mature the potato gets, the starch are converted into sugar. Potato peel contains very trace amount of protein.
the liver has more enzymes that the potato (a starch) does.
I believe that would be the Yukon gold. It is very starchy.
Both of them are essentially 100% starch, so it's basically a tie.
As part of photosynthesis, plants make sugar. This is transformed into the more solid starches (the polysaccharides amylose and amylopectin) using glycosidic bonds, similar to those that form glycogen in animal metabolism. These bonds are easily hydrolyzed to release the glucose. Potatoes are storing food in their tuber roots to last the winter.Heating a potato breaks down some of the starch into pyrodextrins, which are darker in color. Cooking the starch makes it more easily digested.

Potatoes are a root vegetable. They are a starchy vegetable. I'm guessing that your question is diet related. So, in a balanced meal, you would not have a starchy vegetable AND a grain, you would have one or the other. Potatoes are good for you. Their skin has a decent amount of fiber. Starch is not a bad word. Enjoy.
