What’s the Best Potato?
All potatoes are very good for you and are easy-to-prepare carb sources, but dark- colored potatoes tend to be richer in vitamins and minerals. Sweet potatoes are full of fiber, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, making them both delicious and very healthy. If you want to mix things up, another healthy potato is the Japanese potato, or purple potato, which has a rich, nutty flavor.
