Besides being incredibly delicious, potatoes are actually good for you – it’s often the toppings that add unnecessary sodium and saturated fat to your meal.
Potatoes contain fiber, potassium, iron, and calcium, plus vitamins C and B6. You can easily make adjustments for baked potato toppings to help boost the health value by switching sour cream for Greek yogurt and adding a few more veggies instead of piling on the cheese.
“Russet potatoes are childhood nostalgia for me; my grandmother often made hash. I like russet potatoes for being so versatile as well as being part of a well-balanced, nutritious diet. Here, they bring everything together and add carbohydrates for an overall healthy dish. You can adapt this dish with any seasonal vegetables, like beets and kale for winter.”
