9 Healthy Potato Recipes To Try Now!

I’ve been on a massive potato kick lately! I’ve making lots of healthy potato recipes and enjoying every moment of it!

Are potatoes healthy?

Potatoes are nutrient-dense, versatile, and relatively inexpensive. However, they can get a bad rap, and aren’t always served in a ‘healthy’ manner. For example, they can be laden with oil from deep frying or drenched in creamy sauces. Although these meals may be tasty, you definitely don’t want to eat them too often!

Instead, we try to focus on healthy potato recipes. As a result, we can benefit from all the goodness in these nutrient powerhouses. As a matter of fact, one medium potato has a range of vitamins and nutrients, including:

• Calories: 161
• Fat: 0.2 grams
• Protein: 4.3 grams
• Carbs: 36.6 grams
• Fiber: 3.8 grams
• Vitamin C: 28% of the RDI
• Vitamin B6: 27% of the RDI
• Potassium: 26% of the RDI
• Manganese: 19% of the RDI
• Magnesium: 12% of the RDI
• Phosphorus: 12% of the RDI
• Niacin: 12% of the RDI
• Folate: 12% of the RDI

Wow!! See how healthy just one medium potato can be?
