Non-boiled potatoes hold a LOT of nutrition, actually (boiling process can leach out minerals). Potatoes + dairy = nearly 100% RDA for vitamins and minerals. Out of all the monos out there, I'd call potatoes up there in least amount of damage done.
I also vote for some salt on your potatoes. sodium deficiency can really mess with your electrolytes and cause both terrible muscle and neurological problems. Modernly, it's considered "rare", but eating disorders can make it not only common but likely if you sodium-restrict OR exercise a whole lot.
I also can relate to doing potatoes only from financial struggles. I ate nothing but microwaved-baked potato at work for about 2 months when I started a new job because I had a long unemployment stent and had <$5 to last me until my first paycheck (then had to stretch out my grocery budget). That was over a year ago but I'm mentally struggling struggling to justify buying non-cheap-cheap groceries.

You might want to try mashed potatoes with milk mixed in - the milk makes it creamier like butter would but with more calcium and lower calories.

That’s a good idea, but unfortunately I don’t drink milk unless it’s in yogurt form

Hey sorry for the late reply! My mom was in town so I got really distracted. I finished on day 17 at 155 pounds. So that’s 10 lbs in 17 days. Not too bad! I’m back on the diet now, but I’m adding a little bit of Salmon because without any fat in my diet my skin was terribly dry. So now I just have a little bit of salmon and a LOT of potatoes, but I’m staying in between 1,000-1,200 calories a day. I gained some weight back but only from drinking and eating so much over my thanksgiving holiday. Overall this diet was a 8/10 I felt full and still lost weight. If you’re a volume eater I highly recommend potatoes!So how did it go? 😊 I'd love to try this diet myself!
