Potatoes for breakfast…really?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Potatoes are good for every meal, even breakfast. Actually, potatoes contain resistant starch that is not fully absorbed by the body.

Is potato good for you?

Potatoes are versatile root vegetables. Steamed, sautéed, baked, fried…you can eat potatoes differently. The potatoes are minimally processed for this recipe and just baked with one tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Potatoes are good for you and are a great source of fibers.
