The Great Debate: Should We Be Eating Potatoes? (4 of 4)

Looking for some ideas on how to prepare your potato? Consider air frying them until they are crispy and adding some parsley. Or make garlic smashed potatoes with a small sprinkling of parmesan. Another crowd pleaser is roasted red potatoes with rosemary. German potato salad (sans mayonnaise) is a popular choice. In our opinion, baked potato wedges beat the deep fried variety any day! Herb roasted potatoes; sauteed potatoes with chicken; potato skin bites; the list goes on and on! 

Here’s the bottom line when it comes to potatoes: they are absolutely not bad for you. In fact, as part of a balanced diet, they are the perfect compliment to fish, chicken, beef or pork. You can even make a hearty, delicious soup out of potatoes, ham, and vegetables. Skip the fries and chips and instead eat them using any of the cooking methods we recommended above. Of course, you should also include other vegetables and plenty of fruits in your diet.
