A new study suggests that potatoes may contribute to weight gain even when not eaten in form of fries or chips.

The latest study comes even as the US government is looking to introduce nutritional guidelines that will cut down the intake of potatoes to just two servings weekly in schools.
The study has attracted criticism from Idaho Governor Butch Otter and Republican Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine, two of the biggest potato growing states. “News flash: Regularly eating ANYTHING in an irresponsible way contributes to weight gain and other health concerns!” Otter said.
