is there any downside to eating loads of potatoes?

Other than the fact you are loads of potatoes?

How are you eating then? If they are just boiled, why? But you are living like a king if they dauphinoise.

Too many variables, need more info!

If you sit around all day, yes, you will likely get fat. If you are at least a little bit active however, they are a decent choice. Potatoes actually contain most of the nutrition your body needs to survive, so accompanied with regular exercise they can be quite good for you.
Note: I don't actually know shit about nutrition so take what I say with a grain of salt

You don't know much about common sense either, you can sit around all day and eat them without getting fat so long as you aren't on a calorie surplus

As long as you're getting other nutrients it can't be that bad for you

Some guy ate mostly potatoes and his blood sugar improved. You can go a long time just eating the marvelous potato too. I'm a bit skeptical though on it improving blood sugar unless you somehow eat just the right amount of calories in potatoes.

I doubt there would be if they weren't the only thing you eat.
They don't have that many calories either, when compared weight for weight with like, rice or bread or oats.

Like everything if you eat too much then it will be an issue.

If you are afraid you are eating too much then you can swap it out with something else every now and then but they are a staple in many countries.

Though the healthiest in those countries are the day laborers so they easily burn off what they consume.

Too much is bad. You'll get massive farts and overall it's not comfortable if you're out in public a lot
