== Calling them irish potatoes in america ==
== Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2024 ==
Hi,

The etymology ends with potatoes sometimes being called “Irish or white potatoes in America to distinguish them from sweet potatoes.” Has anyone ever actually heard an American call a potato an irish or white potato? Maybe that detail should be omitted.

Lit,

Also, university extension services are generally reliable sources for such things; see https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/solanum-tuberosum/, for example. No one was claiming that the famine in Ireland was named for the potato; the question was whether Americans actually use the term to refer to ''Solanum tuberosum''.

== American Cancer Society is good medical source ==

@[[user:bon courage]] has reverted my edit and seems to be disputing the source and my representation of it. The main medical source is the American Cancer Society, which I believe satisfies [[WP:MEDRS]]. The top of the article has the classification of Acrylamide by other national and intl organisations, so it is representing the scientific consensus that Acrylamide is probably carcinogenic, as I stated in my edit. I'm not sure what I'm misrepresenting. The other sources, while not medical, also reach the same conclusion and added details. Therefor I am re-adding my edit. [[User:Brian Shaposky|Brian Shaposky]] ([[User talk:Brian Shaposky|talk]]) 19:08, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

::The scientific consensus in the beginning of the article that acrylamide is "probably carcenogenic to humans" from the IARC for example. Also, you removed the part that cooking potatoes at high temps increases the amount of acrymalide.

== Semi-protected edit request on 2 November 2022 ==
{{Edit semi-protected|Potato|answered=yes}}
I suggest removing the words "and a fruit" from the first sentence of the article, changing "a root vegetable and a fruit native to the Americas" to "a root vegetable native to the Americas". Even if the potato plant does produce fruits, its fruits are not used in cuisine and probably not safely edible; the tubers are not fruits; and these words were added by a user whose edits to other articles seem to consist mostly of vandalism.

== Number of varieties ==

Section 2.3, Genetics, begins {{tq|There are about 5,000 potato varieties worldwide}}, whereas 2.4, Varieties, a mere four paragraphs later, asserts {{tq|There are close to 4,000 varieties of potatoes}}; a difference of 1,000 is fairly substantial.

== Comparison to other staple foods and nutritional content ==

I think the part about nutritional content in this article could be clearer. Many articles about food has a simple table of the sort "Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)" which is really good when trying to do a quick approximate lookup.


Having a huge table comparing dry weight to other staple foods seems a bit out of place in an article that's primarily about potatoes. To me that table fits much better in the article about staple food [[Staple food#Comparison of 10 staple foods]] where it also exists, rather than being in lots of individual articles for each staple food. To me, the article about [[Cassava]] for instance is much easier to use for looking up nutrition while still offering a link to the staple food comparison. [[User:Bricksprovidecoal|Bricksprovidecoal]] ([[User talk:Bricksprovidecoal|talk]]) 13:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

:{{u|Bricksprovidecoal}} - Agree about removing the large nutrition table. Use the cassava nutrition section and table format as an example, and [[WP:FIXIT]].

::Without commenting of the desirability of the huge table, it may be suspect. I have looked at just one value, raw sweet potato beta-carotene.

:::{{re|Pol098}} Yes and 77.3 % water. (8510/22.7) x 100 = 37488. I converted everything to dry weight after [[Template_talk:Comparison_of_major_staple_foods#Fresh/dry_comparisons|first proposing it nine years ago]].

[[User:Smartse|SmartSE]] ([[User talk:Smartse|talk]]) 09:37, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

::::Thanks, makes perfect sense. I noticed the "raw sweet potato" (G) footnote, but the enormous beta-carotene number caught my eye eye and I missed the (blatantly obvious) "dry weight".

:::::What would editors think of collapsing the section and table for comparison to other staple foods and just having a specific section on nutrition for both raw and boiled potatoes (FoodData Central has several choices for cooked)?

I would be happy to compose this revision and have the USDA table for cooked potato as the main data presentation. [[User:Zefr|Zefr]] ([[User talk:Zefr|talk]]) 15:15, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

::::::{{re|Zefr}} Sounds reasonable to me. I doubt that there is much difference between raw and cooked, but if there is any data on different ways of cooking them, e.g. fries vs. boiled, that would be good to include.

::1) I'll move the comparison table to See also. 2) as people do not eat raw potatoes, I assumed this is why the USDA-FoodData Central (FDC) site no longer has nutrient data for raw (at one time, it did). This also justifies use of the nutrition table for cooked potatoes as representative of what people consume. Most or all (?) of our plant-food articles with nutrition sections use the USDA-FDC tables, where analyses have been done. 3) As we don't have reliable nutrition data for non-American potatoes, I think we have to stay with this and not be too concerned with slight geographic or cultivar variation. 4) likewise, for nutrients in skin specifically, there are no reliable sources other than the USDA-FDC tables where skin was included - should we have a separate nutrition table for this? I didn't think it was justified. 5) I've looked through PubMed, but don't see better sources to discuss potato starch more than we say in the paragraph on GI.
