Baked, steamed, or cooked in the microwave: potatoes are one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. Eat more potatoes! (just leave out the oil, sour cream, cheese, butter, etc.)

A medium potato (with skin) offers around 110-160 calories, is fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in sodium, while being rich in Vitamin C, B6, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, primarily composed of carbohydrates and water, making it a nutrient-dense, affordable food that supports immunity, blood pressure, and digestion.
