What do you think? Unhealthy starchy jonkkk or mother nature’s super food?

How does it compare to the other carb kings (rice, bread, noodles) in therms of nutritional content?

What’s your favorite type of tater? Favorite way to cook them?

I like parboiling them and grilling them with some olive oil.

They have the lowest potential fiber content of all the other carbs. You can always have whole grain rice, bread, and noodles. Potatoes are just tubers.

That said

I like to dip vegetables into mashed potatoes, or make Sheppard's pie, or make potato shipwreck, or top a plate of fries with spicy chili or use crunchy air fried hash browns as topping in salad or wraps. The humble potato is a companion food that helps all the other foods work together.
