The theme for Monday Posts in May is Potatoes.
Potatoes are a very misunderstood vegetable. Yes, they are a vegetable, plus they are healthy.
Potatoes have vitamins C and B6, potassium, copper, manganese and dietary fiber. They offer cardiovascular protection, have a potential for lowering blood pressure and have a variety of phytonutrients with antioxidant activity.
A medium potato is only 140 – 150 calories. It’s the bacon, sour cream, and cheese that take them into ‘unhealthy’ territory.
This month we are celebrating the the humble potato.
As always, the Monday recipes are simple, easy, and without detailed photos, etc.

That’s it!
This looks so delicious! I love potatoes. I really love potatoes. In almost all their iterations. Unfortunately, so do my hips, and really, the rest of me as well. More than a little bite and I seem to just gain five pounds immediately. We’re becoming a starch free home here as much as we possibly can. Not carb free, but starch free. I’ll make the occasional starch now, but not often.
I didn’t eat potatoes for years. After having boiled potatoes every day of my childhood and youth I really couldn’t face one. Now we have them a few times a week – carefully weighed lol
Nothing like a baked potato with yes, real butter !!!
I miss a good baked potato…. We don’t have them here. All the other kinds but not a proper ‘baker’.
