The bland and “naked” boiled potato

pierinifitness

Was and has been a good food during my weight loss journey. I’m an odd-ball preferring to eat mine cold after being refrigerated.

This report ranks boiled potatoes highest using a satiety index.

Yeah I've eaten potatoes and other starchy foods during my 50 pound weight loss. Very satisfying, to me, and nutritious.

Yeah, I don't think MFP is really a place where the prejudice against potatoes needs to be debunked.

I love them and find them quite satisfying, and usually prefer mine roasted with a bit of salt and olive oil, not much. I'll eat them cold as leftovers, no problem.

German potato salad with skin on red potatoes is pretty great too, and can be made quite low cal.

Love baked potatoes in the jacket! Sweet potatoes, too. No butter or sour cream. Maybe a tablespoon or two of feta or shredded cheddar, but usually just pepper and salt.

Potato of choice = mini red potatoes (limits time to cook, skin tastes amazing too) - tastes perfectly fine with just some simple salt and/or parsley. Never understood why so many people feel the need to dress the hell out of potatoes...they taste more than good on their own.

I love potatoes mixed with salt/pepper, a little fat, celery/onion, the perfect side dish to just about anything.

Boiled potato can be sliced and fried in butter (7g= 1 pat=50 cal) in a non stick skillet to a golden brown and dusted with popcorn salt.

Boiled baby potatoes with a wee bit of butter and fresh dill... yummm

I don't think potatoes are bland. I cut them like you would for potato salad and boil them in salted water (like you would salt for pasta), with half an onion and a bay leaf. I don't need any oil or butter, they're that good. I only add butter to them when I want the fat.

With that said, I also like them baked, fried, mashed, in stews and soups, in the form of chips, and any which way a potato is cooked. I just love them in all shapes and forms.

Sometimes we have baked potatoes for dinner. Hubby eats a russet with butter, bacon, and cheese. I eat a sweet potato with plain yogurt. It's really good with curry powder!

I make this with just 2% milk instead of the milk and cream mixture and it is a decadent tasting treat without being particularly high in calories. Easier too than dauphinoise recipes that require layering by hand. I batch cook several at once as the cooked gratin's freeze well. You do need a good non-stick pan for boiling potato slices in milk as otherwise clean up is a mess.
