Neither of those are bad for you in moderation.

People need to stop acting like carbohydrates are evil. Sure if you eat a half loaf of bread and 4 potatoes a day you aren't going to be healthy but a potato with some leafy greens and roasted veggies and lean protein is a perfectly healthy meal, you can even throw some bread in there.

Very few things found in unprocessed foods are bad for you when eaten in rational amounts.

Eat the potatoes as leftovers the next day. The starch becomes resistant starch. Digestion is slowed such that glucose is controlled. Also much better for your gut microbiome.

Eh wheats a plant. It’s not that bad for you. It’s not like it [insert moral opinion cloaked as scientifically objective].

Wheat has fiber and nutritive value. Like potatoes, it’s totally fine in a balanced diet (unless allergic).
