Yeah and a peeled potato has a dramatically higher glycemic index than straight fructose. Glycemic index is an interesting metric, but it's far from the end-all be-all, especially if you aren't diabetic.

A peeled potato is similarly bad for you if eaten in the same density as rice in Asian cuisines. The typical Asian dish is served with the equivalent of 3-4 potatoes of rice.
