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.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound yellow or red waxy potatoes, 2 to 3 inches long (about 6 to 7 potatoes)*

  • ½ teaspoon + 1 large pinch kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
