Potato is vegetable?

The conversation of me and my friend at lunch time.

Me: What side dishes do you select?

My friend: Oh, I can select 2 side dishes! I select "mashed potato" and "macaroni salad".

Me: Really? It is not enough vegetable...

My friend: Why? I select "mashed potato" and the potato is vegetable right?

Yes, the potato is vegetable. However, potato's major source of nutrients is carbohydrate. So the potato should not be count as a vegetable.

Aren't you getting a little misconception ?
