Most of you have potatoes in your pantry all the time, as they are incredibly tasty and versatile, and can show up in different recipes served for your breakfast, lunch, and even the late afternoon snack.
However, if you thought you have already tried every single potato dish out there, we have some great news- there is a relatively new potato recipe that will fascinate you!
The recipe has been described as “creamy caramelized coins that melt in your mouth”, and it consists of thick potato slices roasted with butter and chicken stock.
This root vegetable is a staple food in many households, and there is a reason for it. Their consumption boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, maintains fluid balance, improves digestion and heart health, and protects the skin.
One potato, about the size of your fist, has only 110 calories.
Potatoes are rich in nutrients, such as B6, zinc, pantothenic acid, vitamin E, vitamin C, phosphorus, potassium, and choline, and are highly filling, so they can help you prevent food cravings and lose weight.
Additionally, potatoes are high in antioxidants that lower the risk of chronic diseases and prevent free radical damage, such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids.
Yet, their benefits vary depending on the way they have been cooked. To get the most out of potatoes, you should prefer them roasted, mashed, jacked or in a salad, and avoid frying them.
Moreover, choose healthy additives and toppings, such as olive oil, beans, tuna, and fresh herbs.
Now, let’s share the recipe so many people fell in love with:
