    Wow seriously guys calm the heck down. My bad. I try to stay away from having a lot of potatoes. But I love what they make. So instead of having potatoes every other day, these are alternatives. Don't get your panties in a bunch because I said I dont find potatoes healthy all the time. Good lord. If you disagree cool, no need to smash my ideas.

    Seems everyone is fairly calm. Just mostly disagreeing with you.

    ... But as we all know, they aren't exactly healthy for us to have very often....

    Huh?

    I thought about extolling the micronutrient virtues of potatoes then decided I'd rather let you think they're unhealthy.

    More for me. I'll eat ALL THE POTATOES.

    It's not really disagreement. You're just wrong.

    for those of us removing white food products from our diet for blood sugar reason and others, they do sound good. I think you are in for a lot of flack though.

    I love white potatoes. But as we all know, they aren't exactly healthy for us to have very often. So below, I have a few links to change up those white potato recipes with something a little better for that waistline(:

    Nothing says you can't bake white potato fries just the same... Chop into fry-like shapes and sizes, toss in a table of oil, sprinkle salt and pepper (or rosemary or oregano, or whatever...) and bake just like you'd do with sweet potatoes. Works great.

    Ugh. I even dislike sweeet potatoes. I actually like russet potatoes in small doses. So many calories, so little hunger satisfaction....

    IMO potatoes are good; just not when you deep fry them

    DITTO!

    actually, they're especially good when you deep fry them :) mmmm.

    thanks, OP! will check out the recipes.
