your body craves certain things your deficient in and in order to get that it makes association to your brain with food it knows to have those things.
take some vitamins or eat a spud

The only things that I could find that you would get from potatoes are some of the B vitamins and potassium. Being deficient in any vitamin or mineral can cause all kinds of cravings. Try eating a couple of eggs with the yolks, each day. Eggs have a lot of needed vitamins and are considered to be one of natures "miracle" foods. Since you are already on a potassium supplement, I wouldn't worry about trying to find other sources for that. The only time I've ever craved raw potatoes is occasionally when I am pealing them to cook something, I'll crunch on a peice. Good luck!
BTW: Don't try the Apple cider vinegar until you check with your physician, it has a lot of potassium and you don't want to take too much at once.

You are missing certain vitamins. That is what your body is telling you. I drink 2 tbls of apple cider vinegar mixed with water in an 8 oz. glass 2 times per day. It has over 93 different vitamins and minerals. I used to crave dirt.

How about potato chips, do you crave them too. I do and this is highly unusual for me. Potatoes have Vit C, don't they? If you find out, please let us all know. Thanks
