I imagine the "carbs" label extends to both processed/unprocessed/simple/complex carbohydrates, which I think potato belongs to "simple" and "unprocessed" (according to this[1] website).

No, potatoes have some simple carbs but they are predominantly starches, which are complex carbs.

Now I'm lost. Isn't that all categories of carbohydrate, meaning they're correct?
