Potatoes Not Fattening Says Texas A&M Expert
Nora Ellen Elliott of the Texas A and M College Extension Service states that Irish potatoes are not more fattening than apples and offer vital vitamins at low cost. She warns against peeling and urges cooking potatoes in skins to preserve health value and moisture. Steamed potatoes absorb less moisture than boiled, making them meatier than boiled yet less so than baked. Mature potatoes are best for baking and are recommended as a low cost health food to be eaten daily.
