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.
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.

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

Boiled potatoes did.
