A dietitian on the health benefits of potatoes | You Versus Food

Potatoes: mashed, smashed, baked, and home-fried: they're a delicious (and inexpensive) starch. But are they good for you? Dietitian Tracy Lockwood Beckerman explains the health benefits of potatoes — both Instagram vegetable celebrity sweet potatoes, as well as regular white and russet potatoes — on this episode of You Versus Food. What's the best way to cook potatoes? Do potatoes have a secret stash of beneficial nutrients we might not realize? How do you get the most nutrition out of a potato? And what the heck is the difference between a sweet potato and a yam? You'll learn all of this and more in the episode.
