The potential downside to potatoes is often in their preparation.
Potatoes are commonly prepared with oil, butter and other high-fat ingredients. In fact, nearly half of all potatoes are used to make fries and chips. Other potato dishes like mashed potatoes and potato soup are equally loaded with fats from cream, cheese, bacon and more. Potatoes are extremely versatile and pair well with many healthful foods like beans, herbs, spices, chicken, meat, mushrooms, leafy greens and most other vegetables.
The key to including potatoes in a well-rounded diet is in how they are prepared and balanced into meals. Some of the smartest cooking methods for potatoes include baking, roasting, air-frying and boiling. These methods require little to no added fats. It’s important to leave the skin on potatoes, if possible. Avoid frying them or using them as a vehicle for added fats, especially high-saturated fat ingredients like butter, cream, cheese, bacon and sour cream.
Here are some health-promoting ways to incorporate potatoes and other tubers and root vegetables into your eating plan:Roast chopped potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sweet potato and beets lightly tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs, as desired, in the oven for a hearty and energizing side dish.
