Are potatos a healthy food?

[Mandarin Duck]

I usually cook them in the oven then pan fry them, no oil or grease.
Just a small amount of Pam on the pan then some seasoning.

all i can say is oven baked is 26 cal a serving compared 250 fried

Even if I don't use any grease in the pan it's still 250 calories?

A normal sized potato baked or microwaved or boiled without oil is 225 calories and packed with fiber and potassium and other nutrients

It is also one of the most filling foods on Earth

Cut up some chicken and mix it in with a small amount of barbeque sauce and you will be full for hours

I'm sure some Food Babe blog reading turd will try and claim something negative about the starch, but fukk that

Potatoes without oil = amazingly healthy

 

[AFRAM GLORY]

Yes they are. Full of fiber, potassium, and bringing in at least 4 grams of protein per potato. Nothing wrong with potatoes if you're not frying them or drenching them in condiments or butter.

 

[The ADD]

They are , in all forms

too much carbs

too much carbs

I hate how these new diet fads have given the best resource of energy (carbs) a bad name. 225 calories isnt much from a carb based food and its healthy.

[semtex]

[NSSVO]

Solid, bake potatoes are hella good for you. But a brother like myself tends to b*stardize the shyt.

 

[Astroslik]

I prefer yams

 

[DarkHorse23]

Sweet potatoes....yes

White potatoes....not really. Great for calories though.

I prefer Sweet potatoes/Yams

Sweet Potatoes got brehs through slavery

White potatoes try steaming. Good cheap food by the bulk. Sweet potatoes more nutrient dense.
Red potatoes better than white nutrients.
All can be cooked in microwave slice long way into quarters. Microwave prep retains greatest nutrients.
