Potassium in Potatoes

Potatoes contain lots of health vitamins and minerals, including copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, vitamin C and vitamin B. In essence, the basic potato is actually a little superfood. The trick is to prepare it in a healthy way: try cutting your potatoes up into long slices and tossing them in a little garlic powder, thyme, salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Then put them in the oven to bake on high heat for about 20 minutes. In the end, you should have crispy, low-fat french fries that pack all of the good stuff and far less of the bad stuff.
