Potatoes are one of the most nutritious foods, they belong to the family of the tubers and there are many varieties in the world. This nutritious vegetable has a bad reputation because people think it's a fattening food, but this is only because most of the time you add butter, mayonnaise, flour and/or refined oils to it or you combine it with foods that are unsuitable for digestion. However, if you learn how to eat properly, they are ideal  in the diets to lose weight.

Potatoes are rich in iron, potassium, fiber, calcium, vitamin C, water and starch.

    All my friends always told me that potatoes are bad for the health and they make you fat so I was avoiding them to follow my regular diet, but well, you?re right I think there is no natural food that is harmful for the body, it becomes bad when we combine it bad or anything like that, amazing recipes by the way.

    I’m not really sure you can honestly say that cooking these recipes with potatoes will help you lose weight. I think a lot of the problem that people have with excess weight has to do with not enough exercise, and including too many foods in their diet, like sweets, refined products., etc. Adding another food alone isn’t really going to help with that…
