Not that there is anything wrong with potatoes or rice...mmmm...me like 
starches..<g>

1. I like both equally-maybe like potatoes better due to the variety of 
the way you can fix them-which can be dangerous(hard to stop eating 
them!), but rice takes less time to cook.  I can have rice done in 20 
minutes, but potatoes take longer to boil and mash-sometimes I will 
roast taters with dinner tho..
2. Rice is whole grain food<g>...nutritionally, there may not be much 
difference...rice might be slightly better in glycemic load, but 
potatoes may have more trace nutrients(I eat, for the record, brown rice 
 or basmati and potatoes with skins)
3.  The stuff I cook/like to eat is rice-based...like chicken and rice, 
soups with rice, stir fries, rice and pea casserole(a version of 
hoppin'john with rice and sausage)...
