Potatoes are rich in potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C and B vitamins.
Potatoes also contain fiber, which is important for digestion.
However, the benefits of potatoes directly depend on the method of their preparation.
What potato dish should you avoid?
As reported by Gazeta.Ru with reference to gastroenterologist, top-category doctor, allergist of the SM-Clinic in St. Petersburg Elena Grek, the most harmful way of cooking potatoes is frying.
Firstly, when fried, the calorie content of potatoes doubles.
If 100 g of boiled potatoes contain 80 kilocalories, then 100 g of fried potatoes contain almost 200.
It is also important to remember that carcinogens are released during the frying process.
These harmful substances have a negative impact on the human nervous system and increase the risk of developing cancer, the specialist warned.
