The people with the longest life spans aren't potato eaters. They are the Okinawan folk, whom also consume very little rice. Their diet is for the most part ketogenic (high amounts of fatty meat and leafy green vegetables). I know their traditional diets because that is where my gf's roots are.
The Okinawans ate a diet of mostly sweet potatoes and was not keto at all: http://okicent.org/docs/anyas_cr_diet_2007_1114_434s.pdf
