Potatoes tend to get a bad rap, and most people think they're unhealthy. I mean, there are some good reasons. Those reasons are: French fries, potato chips, and loaded baked potatoes. The potato itself, though, is a great, heart healthy food to include in you meal rotation. It's high in potassium, which most people don't get enough of! Potatoes are also a great source of fiber, especially if you also eat the skins. And something surprising to many people, is the high vitamin C content of potatoes. Definitely a spud worth eating! Just watch the toppings. This is where most people go off the tracks. Toppings like butter, sour cream, bacon, cheese, and the like take the healthy potato and turn it into an artery clogging nightmare.
