Potatoes have a pretty high glycemic index and glycemic load compared to whole wheat and oatmeal.

But without fat it's pretty hard to eat a lot of potatoes; they're just too bland.

That's the thing that everyone in this discussion seems to be missing: taste. There are good reasons to believe that better-tasting food may have physiological effects beyond just being pleasurable to eat [1]. This is not controversial when it comes to other substances but with food it's a much tougher battle.
