Next time someone says, “I don’t eat potatoes, they’re just carbs,” you can smile and say, “Actually, they’re a vegetable that provides healthy carbohydrates, fibre, and potassium. But you do you.” Then take a bite of your roasted potato with rosemary and watch them crumble.
Cooked and then cooled potatoes (like in potato salad) become resistant starch, which acts more like fiber in your gut. That’s science’s way of saying, “Hey, relax, you can enjoy this.”
Pro tip: Boil, bake, or roast them. Leave the deep-fryer for special occasions. Your arteries will thank you.
