Potatoes often get a bad rap due to their high carbohydrate count. While they may be high in carbs, they are still nutritious and high in many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and potassium.
Much of these nutrients are found in the skins, which have a higher anti-oxidative property than the flesh. Each unique color that God has created has certain phenol properties that can bring benefits to the body.
The new verdict: we should not abandon potatoes. Rather we should eat many kinds of potatoes – especially those with lots of color.
This unique recipe combines all the goodness of colored potato and skin along side the power house potato (sweet potato), which is loaded with vitamin A and other God created goodness.
