Tonight as part of my dinner I had a cabbage, spinach, tomato salad with cold roasted potatoes. It happens to be a favorite salad component for me.. a couple of days ago I roasted a big batch of small yellow Yukon golds with a variety of spices added. Night #1 I had them hot for dinner, then sautéed for breakfast and tonight as a salad component. From a portion control point of view I used 60 grams, cut in small chunks. I have talked about resistant starches before but I’m going to repeat it. Of the many starchy foods out there, both potatoes and rice, when cooked and then refrigerated, become resistant starches which means the body has to work harder to process them so you mitigate that insulin response. Other starches may also become resistant when cooled and then cooled but loose that characteristic when reheated. Not so with rice and potatoes, they maintain that resistant characteristic even when reheated. Potatoes are extremely nutritious, they contain micro nutrients that we don’t get any other place and they are very high in potassium which is hard for many of us to get enough of. They CAN be part of a healthy diet for many if eaten in a portion controlled manner.

Wow! Super interesting! I frequently cook huge batch of potatoes, and the left overs get used in a variety of ways. My oldest son especially likes to pan fry them a bit. Glad to know, rather than losing nutritional value, they my be even better for us with time?!

Thanks for the reminder! I remember you mentioning that before awhile back. I'll have to look for ways to incorporate cold papas.

Haven't had potatoes in a month. Usually only half of one. Will remember this, as my roommate bakes potatoes frequently. I can only eat potatoes sparingly, but next time he bakes them I will save half of one. :)

Kenna I do the same roasting a large bag of red potatoes. After roasted I freeze them on a cookie sheet then transfer to large freezer bag. I love red potatoe salad and generally just roasted potatoes as a side with many meals makes it easy. I also roast sliced sweet potatoes and freeze. Potatoes are so versatile and healthy!

Binkytexas— your situation is a bit different. As a dialysis patient potatoes are generally on the list of things that restricting is really important because of their high potassium content. For you, to potato or not potato has nothing to do with evil carbs or your weight—- potassium control is king in your world.
