Noticed something interesting a while ago: By dry weight, most veggies are: * Surprisingly high in protein. And * Apart from those, energy contents mostly from sugars. Less so from complex carbs or fat. So: mostly water, fibre rich, sugars + protein sources (+ vitamins & some minerals, of course). Looked at this way, I'd rate potatoes not as vegetables. Compared to most veggies: almost no sugars, much more starch, different carbs/protein ratio, less fibers, few vitamins. Besides being unhealthy to eat if green ;-) Another point: most veggies (even those that are normally cooked) can be eaten raw if desired. Definitely not recommended with potatoes.
