      I don’t want to go on a wikipedia hunt right now, for potato starch, but if you could educate me further, I would appreciate it

        Not much to it, The starch is essentially just a type of complex carbohydrate, and potatoes are known to carry them in abundance. So while a potato is still technically a vegetable, it’s often referred to as a starch or starchy vegetable because of how much starch it contains.
