    Potatoes have lot of carbohydrate like rice.It has minerals ,vitamins as well.
    Boiled potatoes do not have fat content in them.Proteins are found in them when you cook it with milk and egg.When you use it with the skin,fibre content is high.Potatoes have resistant starch ,so when you cook and add it with salad and keep it in the fridge and consume ,it reduces glucose level and keeps lipid levels under control.
    It has Vitamin B ,which helps in metabolism.
    It has potassium ,which keeps blood pressure under control.It does not have sodium which is harmful.
    Freshly grown potatoes have lot of vitamins which is equivalent vitamins found in fruits.
    If you trying to lose weight ,take boiled potatoes.It is filling and has less calories than rice.
    For people who are allergic to wheat,cheese,they can take boiled potatoes.
    If it is cooked the right way ,it is healthy.Not frying with oil,not removing the skin makes it suitable for consumption.
    I saw a program on TV wherein the doctor suggests that potatoes can be taken twice a week,that too boiled.Add it to sambar,make boiled curry,gravy or salad.
