>It decreases inflammation, and gives your gut chance to heal. It may improve sugar digestion, liver and so on.

Are there clinical trials that show these outcomes in patients? (To clarify, I don't mean studies that show potatoes have potential chemicals/mechanisms related to those outcomes, but actual trials with patients that saw a scientifically meaningful difference in those outcomes after a potato diet.

I do not read studies, but this pops from google [1]

Potato diet is a baseline in fasting community. Before you do long water fast, you need to go on detox. Doing potato diet for couple of weeks is strongly recommended.

Your linked study did exactly what I cautioned against. It's in-vitro. It's pointing to potential mechanisms, not a clinical outcome on patients. I know you said you don't read studies, but maybe it's a good idea before drawing conclusions.
