I've always fed the dogs meat and veggies, though some carbs help them with a bit of energy. Mine have never tolerated carbs well at all.
The issue of potatoes in particular is pretty interesting - wouldn't take much for them to put pounds on my dogs when I tried them.
I think a lot boils down to knowing your dog food manufacturer (as best as possible), since quality ingredients are at least as important as what the ingredients are.
