As a fellow Idahoan, I too am fond of my potatoes. Boiled and served with a little butter or olive oil and parsley - good and good for you!<br />I fry potatoes occasionally and we like them mashed, scalloped, au gratin, etc. In the winter we eat more. In the summer - potato salad, of course! A great snack or lunch to keep in the fridge.<br />We rarely eat french fries from a fast-food place. I do like commercial potato chips. But as part of a generally well-balanced diet with regular exercise (6-7 days per week), I don't see any weight gain. In fact, during the winter, we sometimes just have baked potatoes for dinner topped with a nice piece of cheese or butter or olive oil. I think I've lost weight on that diet.monnomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057590815446561947noreply@blogger.com
