Potatoes do not contain sugar. They do, however, contain a very large amount of carbohydrate which hits your blood stream quickly and is then converted to sugar. That fact is why potatoes rank very high on the Glycemic Index, a tool used to rank foods for such things as Diabetes, weight loss, or optimum health.
For those who are diabetic, you can study that table if you want to find good ways of managing your blood sugar without taking insulin.
