Spuds better than French Fries

[connda]

Guess I'll open a Spudshack franchise. 
 

"Potatoes have long had a bad rap for being high in carbohydrates. A new study backs that concern—at least in part.

That weekly french fry habit could be setting you up for diabetes decades down the road. Research found that eating french fries just three times per week may significantly raise Type 2 diabetes risk—but surprisingly, other potato preparations showed no increased risk at all."

That potato could well be more deadly than fries.  Butter, Cheese, and sour cream add up to a calorie and cholesterol bomb. Looks good but.......🙃

Then just eat the spud. Or skip the cheese and the butter.🤔  In order to eat cheese and butter one does not need a spud.

Be pretty hard to dig out all the fillings on that potato. How about just nice roasted ones?

The skin of a potato is rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals.

 

By itself, a baked potato is a healthier option than french fries.

Boil it (or bake) with the skin on and put a tin of tuna over it.

5 minutes in the Wave = DONE!

Then put whatever you like inside it, with moderation.....baked beans, tuna (small tin though), Philly cheese, Peanut butter (home-made) and Sweet Chilli sauce = near enough Satay.
