The best things about potatoes

Potatoes are really underrated in terms of health benefits. Here are some of the health benefits you can rack in when you consume these delicious carby delights.

  • They’re great for bone health because of the iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, and zinc in them
  • The potato’s fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 content, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health
  • Potatoes contain folate which plays a role in helping lower your risk of cancer
  • The fiber in potatoes helps aid in good digestion

Notes

If you do not have access to baby potatoes, just use Yukon Golds.  Peeled and quartered (or into bite size pieces).
If you prefer regular mayo, that is fine.
If you do not like lemon, use white vinegar.
You can also add fresh herbs like parsley, oregano and cilantro!

Maria, your old potato salad recipe included capers. I made it a few times and people raves about it. The link is broken on Pinterest and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Could you reshare the ingredients list?
