Potatoes are a very healthy carb. (Ok, not the fries, lol) You can enjoy them daily, or mix them up with any root vegetables.

“Potatoes are a very healthy carb.”

Perhaps...but the carb count will quickly add up!

Cold, cooked potato becomes a “resistant starch” which doesn’t digest in the gut like a simple carb does. In fact it becomes a feed source for probiotics.
