I Love Potatoes....So Much

Potatoes are not the enemy--the stuff added to them & the way their cooked is. So eat in moderation & find substitutes for extras & eat up!

That sounds familiar :laugh: just saying

You and me both! I always say if I were stranded on a deserted island, one of the things I would want to have with me is an unlimited supply of potatoes! I never met a potato I didn't like!

When I make mashed potatoes, I use fat free milk and Parkay spray butter (it has no calories or fat), both in moderation, of course. For baked potatoes, I top them with fresh pico de gallo or some kind of salsa. Either way is yummy!

That is VERY interesting about the correlation between O blood types and potatoes. I am a potatoe JUNKIE and my blood type is O a well.

I love the skin of the potato..I think that the skin has fiber that makes them healthier, so include that whenever you can.

I love putting a little vegetarian chilli and a sprinkle of low-fat cheese on a small baked potato. In fact, in the rare cases that I go to Wendy's that is what I get (except their chilli has meat in it, but so little it doesn't add too many calories).

And as a kid my mom would have "baked potato bar" night, and we would top the potato with lean deli meat, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and a little low-fat cheese (or light cheese whiz when times were tight). I remember it being delicious!

I have never really liked potatoes. I don't like bread either. I just started eating sweet potatoes and love them.

I make these things called skillet smashed potatoes. I take a baby red potato and cook it in the microwave. Then I take the cooked potato and I smash it with a skillet until it is pretty flat. I then put it in the skillet and sprinkle it with garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley, along with a light spray of evoo. I warm the potato until it is kind of crispy on both sides, then eat! It is tasty, and it ensures that the whole potato is seasoned, which sometimes doesn't happen unless you smash it. Potato!

I love them too!

Here are my favorites:

slice them in 1/2 inch slices, drizzle with olive oil, and grill until cooked. then place on top of greens (optional: sliced onions) and top with a homemade balsamic dressing.

or microwave until cooked and smash. top with one egg and salsa.
