What could cause mashed potatoes to stink?
Bacteria. Specifically S.pyogenes. This bacteria is present in the environment, and loves to grow on the starch in potatoes and rice. Don't leave your potatoes out of the fridge uncovred for too long, and definitely do not eat potatoes that have been in the fridge for more than a week. i won't even eat refrigerated mashed potatoes after 3 days.
Other bacteria will also infest mashed potatoes if you put dairy in it, and the dairy will sour just as milk does after staying in the fridge for too long. No more than three days storage for potatoes with dairy. When you reheat do it in the oven or stove top. reheating potatoes in the microwave typically does not keep them hot enough for long enough to kill the bacteria.
The good news is majority of the "food poisoning" you would get from typical potato bacterias would only last 12-24 hours...

While watching your weight is eating a baked potato ok?
A potato has lots of nutrients and so it is a good food. The thing that changes it from a good food is the size of the potato and the choice of toppings. We have found that chili (meat and beans), jalapenos, green onions and other light toppings are not too bad. Also, moderation is key. An alternative would be "rosemary potatoes," which you can find on the web. A good website is one by the USDA.

Potato cuttings are formed by cutting a 'seed potato' into squares of about 4cm, each square containing one or two 'eyes' - buds. These are planted in order to raise a potato crop.
Certified seed potatoes are used because market or store potatoes will, though perfectly healthy themselves for eating, be susceptible to diseases if grown.
The seed potatoes are left in the light and kept slightly warm until they begin to sprout. This is when they are cut for planting.
Potato trimmings are different: these are what's left over when a potato is peeled for cooking, and are more frequently called potato peel, or peelings.

Potatoes are low fat. Mashed potatoes can be low fat, if you make them with regular milk or skim milk and don't add any butter or only a small amount of butter/margarine.
