There has always been so much negativity towards potatoes, which really is too bad, because they are delicious and nutritious!!  For years people have been scared of potatoes because of, dare I say it, CARBS.  But guys, carbs are not bad!!  Sure, if you are eating french fries from Mickey D’s they are bad for you, but I don’t see anything wrong with adding potatoes into your diet. Especially if you are active.

Here are a few fun facts about the potato that will hopefully get you less nervous to consume them!

  • They are a very good source of Vitamin B6 and a good source of potassium, copper, vitamin C, manganese, phosphorus, maicin, and dietary fiber!
  • Potatoes contain a variety of phytonutrients which have antioxidant activity properties.  Oh hey disease fighting root veggie!!
  • Potatoes are a simple carb, which provides a hit of energy post workout!

I promise you that these potatoes are worth the wait.  The tops get nice and crispy and it is the perfect side dish to literally ANY meal!!  Feel free to use any potato you prefer.  Sweet potatoes work well with this and so do red potatoes.  Russets tend to get a little softer in the center, but are still fine to use!!
