Science has apparently built us a better potato

It’s not a tuber. It’s a super tuber.

Scientists at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in New Delhi, India, and the Central Potato Research Institute have managed to genetically modify a potato to increase the protein content by 160 percent (via io9). The researchers have also managed to boost the number of amino acids in the potatoes.

So we could we be looking at the next trendy super food?
