I mean, in fairness, “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.
But they’re a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!
I’ve always used the definition of a vegetable being an integral part of a plant, like a root, rather than a fruiting seed pod evolved to be consumed by animals
