Potatoes have taken a lot of heat (not just in fryers or ovens) because they have been labeled as bad carbohydrates<\/a>. Sweet potatoes are often the given a lot of praise, and rightfully so, but regular potatoes are often cast by the wayside. Diet trends, inaccurate health claims, and old research have demonized spuds. The truth is that potatoes are not to blame; rather, it is how they are prepared that matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this isn\u2019t something to be proud of, the potato is the most consumed vegetable in the Americans diet. Americans do need to eat more greens, but potatoes aren\u2019t that bad. The Journal of Advances in Nutrition <\/em>published an article stating that white potatoes should be included as a root vegetable in healthy diets. The reason people claim that potatoes are unhealthy is because they are typically prepared with butter, cream, deep-fried, or baked with cheese, all of which increase the fat and calorie content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potatoes are classified as high glycemic foods, due to the fact that they can quickly raise blood sugar levels. Diabetics should be cautious when it comes to eating any potato. People without diabetes shouldn\u2019t go overboard with potatoes and they should eat them with low glycemic index, high fiber foods, like lentils, beans, nuts, kale, squash, or avocados, to counteract the sugar spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potatoes have a bad reputation because of potato chips, a lot of which don\u2019t actually contain potatoes! People also overindulge when it comes to French fries, potato skins, or other unhealthy potato preparations. We feel that potatoes deserve another chance because they contain fiber, B-vitamins<\/a>, potassium, copper, manganese, and vitamin C<\/a>. We have some healthy recipes for potatoes below, so try them out and see how you like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
