Easy To Make Potato Recipes

There is no way anyone could go wrong with potatoes. It is that staple food that could be cooked in any way and still be a delicacy.

Whether fried, baked, mashed. You name it! They are a type of edible tubers that are never out of season.

Cheap to grow and so rich in nutrients.

If they aren’t one of your favourites, trust me, you need to keep up!

Unfortunately, through recent years, they have fallen in popularity due to the interest in consuming low carb foods, and they fall in the latter group.

Potatoes contain essential nutrients that the body needs even when cooked.

The following are some of those benefits:

• The potato’s fibre, vitamin C, and potassium and its lack of cholesterol in the blood support heart health.
• Potatoes have the nutrient choline, which is essential and versatile in helping muscle movement, mood, memory, and learning.
• They also contain folate that aids in DNA synthesis and repair, preventing many types of cancer cells from forming due to DNA mutations.
• The fibre in them helps prevent constipation.
• They also promote bone health through the iron, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium that are in them. It is, however, essential to balance the phosphorous and calcium for proper bone mineralization.

This article will focus on the various recipes you can use to enjoy potatoes in a fun and delicious way.
