You can eat potatoes if they are reds, preferably young. Their texture is more clay-like, so it takes longer to digest them, and therefore, they aren’t the culprits that white potatoes are.

My potato soup recipe uses red potatoes, if you’re interested...

The reds are lower glycemic, containing more resistant starch than the boilers or bakers, but they’re still not low-carb enough for me.

Also, for some reason, cold boiled potatoes are less glycemic than hot ones. That’s a factoid I read on the Atkins forum when I used to frequent the place.

But thank you anyway for the offer of your recipe. That was very sweet of you, dear friend.
