@xepia_ @jasoneckert If you peel the potatoes first, though, that gets rid of the eyes, so you’re left with purely real carbohydrates.

@jasoneckert So a little more than 11 potatoes, then?
(5^(3/2)) = 11.18

@cascheranno
In my client (Fedilab) I get that little sigma-symbol in the lower right and when I tap that I get your toot rendered just fine.A root toot, I suppose.
