Potatoes are a favorite side dish among Russians, and are eaten in a variety of ways.
However, there is one way of preparing the tuber that is more preferable than the others.
Let's figure out what form of potatoes is the healthiest to eat.
How to cook potatoes
During the heat treatment, the starch inside the potato is destroyed, causing the glucose concentration in it to drop.
It is healthiest to cook and eat potatoes with the skin. The skin of the tuber contains fiber, minerals, vitamins and potassium.
Therefore, it is best to boil potatoes in their skins or bake country-style potatoes in the oven.
Before cooking, the potatoes must be thoroughly washed, or better yet, left in water for a short time. You can also put the tubers in water, boil it, drain it, and only then add fresh water and cook until done.
But it is not recommended to boil potatoes without peeling them, and especially not to fry them.
