I agree that potatoes are high GI and that this idea is counterintuitive.

My observation was simply that research exists which substantiates this counterintuitive idea (quite a bit of it I believe, the satiety index has been around since 1995).

I'm sure it would spark an interesting discussion if someone had time to dive into the research and the studies.

http://www.mendosa.com/satiety.htm gives an overview and mentions a few of the studies.

As an aside, this potato diet supposedly allows salt and oil - which is all you need to make french fries. French fries did not score well on the satiety index.

Boiled potatoes did.
