If you eat potatoes every day, what would happen to your body?

Potato salad, mashed potatoes, french fries—the list is endless! Enjoyed in many delectable ways, potatoes are a staple food around the world. We've all heard rumors about their high carbohydrate content, but is this adaptable vegetable really a health ally or a disguised villain?
