if you mean like is it a fruit or veggi type thing it's a veggi caz it grows under ground

It is a vegetable, albeit a "starchy vegetable" along with corn and lima beans, according to choosemyplate.gov. If you are trying to follow the food pyramid, count a potato as a vegetable. Try to eat plenty of brightly colored veggies, too.

New Answer: The potato is of the group of starchy foods called tubers. Potato plants belong to the family Solanaceae. The common white potato is classified as Solanum tuberosum.

They can also be in the CARBOHYDRATES group.
