What Could Cause Craving For Cold Potatoes At The Time Of Illness?

My question is about cold potatoes. Since childhood, I crave cold potatoes when I am becoming ill. I don't get sick often and don't eat potatoes often. Yesterday, I began craving cold potatoes so I made potato salad. Today I woke up with symptoms of a cold. Can you think of what nutrient t a potato might have that I would crave?
