Are potatoes healthy?

This popular veggie has gotten some push-back in the media for being unhealthy. But are potatoes really that bad for you? Turns out, no. They can be part of a healthy diet if they’re prepared in a healthy way! So forgo the fried potatoes and eat one of the vegan potato recipes above. You’ll be glad you did! Here’s a breakdown on potatoes nutrition (source):

  • Potatoes have a good amount of fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, and other minerals and antioxidants.
  • Keep in mind: many nutrients are contained in the outer skin, so recipes that peel the potato can remove some of these benefits.
  • When enjoyed in moderation and cooked in a healthy way, potatoes can be part of a nutritious diet.

Description

Here’s the BEST vegan baked potato wedges recipe: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly salted! Perfect for dipping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound yellow or red waxy potatoes, 2 to 3 inches long (about 6 to 7 potatoes)*
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon + 1 large pinch kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut the potatoes into wedges (see the video below!). Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix until fully coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the wedges onto the sheet in a single layer.
  4. Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes.
  5. Reverse the baking sheet in the oven, and bake another 15 minutes until browned and crispy. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

*You can 1.5 or double the recipe if you prefer. If you do so, we’d recommend increasing the temperature to 450 degrees, and you’ll likely need a few more minutes in the oven to make sure the potatoes get crispy.
