I think your basic point is dead on, but I'm pretty sure ramen is significantly cheaper than potato for the same amount of calories.

- wongarsu 7y agoThe large sacks of rice you get from asian shops might be cheaper still. The advantage of potatoes is that there is a large number of recipes that consist almost entirely of potatoes (mashed potatoes, hash browns, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, potato chips, etc.) so there's a lot of variety in a fixed budget.
