Default “POTATO VS RICE”

I wonder if this takes into account the fact that most rice for home
comsumption is sold in dry form and potatoes are usualy whole. Add the
necessary water to rice and rice is about three times heavier. That should
make rice for consumption usualy much cheaper than potatoes.

You are right on the money, figure the cost per cal or both rice and
potatoes and potatoes look pretty bad.
