Potatoes get a bad name because usually they’re eaten in the form of fries, tater tots and chips. But take away the fat and salt and you’ve got a wholesome healthy food. As long as they’re unprocessed and don’t have anything bad added, potatoes can, and should, be a regular part of your diet.
While they’re not as packed full of nutrients as foods like leafy greens and berries, they’re satisfying. Potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them the best veggie to consume for satiety (that full feeling). Leafy greens – though awesome – won’t give you long-term energy, potatoes will. Bonus – they’re delicious and so very cheap!
The most nutritious potatoes out there are those with the most color – sweet potatoes, red potatoes, blue potatoes, purple potatoes. Look for color! Be sure to scrub them well and leave the skin on – this is where a lot of the good stuff is!
These roasted potatoes make a great side to black bean patties or any other dish that doesn’t quite fill you up. They’re also an easy side for special occasions. Throw some rosemary sprigs on the serving tray and you’ve got a fancy, crowd-pleasing dish!
