Please check this in some authoratitive manual.  Their morphology
does not suggest potato.  They look close to parsnip and carrot and
taste close to parsnip, not to potato.

Tomato, potato, green pepper and eggplant are nightshade family;
possible sources of problems for arthritic people.  Since they can
all be eaten raw I suspect they're about as paleofoodish as most any
other veg.  Tomato and potato were native to Americas only but I
think were known to early settlers (Indians) in paleolithic
conditions.
