Potato is a vegetable that is loved by many people.

Gourmets like both fried and boiled potatoes.

Food lovers are delighted with various potato dishes: mashed potatoes, pancakes, babka, etc.

This member of the nightshade family is distinguished not only by its bright taste, but also by its health benefits.

Thus, potatoes, beloved by many gourmets, are a source of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and other microelements important for the human body.

Moderate consumption of the vegetable has a positive effect on the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

But this deliciousness also has a downside: it cannot be combined with certain foods.

So, what exactly should you not eat potatoes with?

Meat

As is known, the representative of the nightshade family is a source of starch.

And this compound does not “get along” with animal protein.

Therefore, you should not eat potatoes with meat. If you do, an "explosive" mixture may form in the stomach.

The consequences will be even worse if you eat boiled or fried nightshade with fatty meat: this combination is too high in calories.

Unfortunately, gourmets have to come to terms with the following fact: potatoes and pork cutlet are a rather dangerous “duet” for the body, although it is gorgeous from the point of view of taste.

By the way, the same can be said about potatoes with cracklings.

Sauces

There is no need to combine vegetables with sauces either.

First of all, we are talking about creamy liquid seasonings.

Yes, potatoes in white sauce are incredibly tasty, but harmful. The combination is too heavy for the body.

In addition, frequent consumption of such a dish is fraught with obesity and problems with the endocrine system.

For reference

Potato is a species of perennial tuberous herbaceous plant of the genus Solanum of the Solanaceae family.
