yes. Less starchy... Lower Carbs... Lower fat.

Healthier-NO Basically about the same. The difference in a white potato may be variable in nutrients etc. if grown on the east coast VS the west coast. Those kind of differences may be the same as between a red or a white potato. Remember there are several varieties of white and red potatoes.

Anything red (red onions opposed to white ones, red cabbage/ white cabbage) is better for you... In the case of the potatoe probably only if you eat the skin. Not entirely sure why, antioxidants, I think....

The girl above me made one critical mistake: never eat green potatoes. They're poisonous.
I'm not even gonna mention her no-carb advice.

Skin colour makes no difference.
There are starchy and floury potatoes of all colours, including blue and black skinned
