So I only ate potatoes for 2 weeks

They make that point in the article. Potatoes are very filling. That's part of the allure. Try doing a diet of 500 calories of lettuce and you'll regret it.

When dieting, satiety is key and potatoes have that in spades.

Not sure this particular counter example is accurate. The volume of 500 calories of lettuce would be enormous and lead to satiety for other reasons (stretching of stomach).

I don't think you could pay anyone to eat that much lettuce but it would be easy to pull off with potatoes is more my point.
