Try a new potato dish
Find a person who doesn’t like potatoes. No one? Exactly.
Potatoes are a very common – and very filling – side to most meals.
That said, the method in which they’re prepared largely determines how healthy they are.
For starters, French fries actually contain about three times the calories of a single baked potato – yet they both come from the same vegetable!
Today, try a new preparation of potatoes.
Replace French fries with baked or boiled potatoes – or even sweet potatoes – to shave off calories and avoid harmful additives that can be found in fried cooking. And sub in a little olive oil for butter or cream.
This is one very simple way to continue enjoying your favorite foods but figuring out a healthy alternative. And potatoes are just the beginning. You can find a healthy alternative to pretty much any food you already love.
Enjoy the potatoes!
