The health benefits of potatoes depend on how you prepare them. If you cook or steam potatoes, you will have the healthiest dish, because the dish will not include fats and oils.
A medium potato baked in its skin contains about 20% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C. Red potatoes contain a higher amount of antioxidants than white potatoes, which help reduce inflammation and protect against several chronic diseases. The healthiest potato is not the red or the white one. The red or purple potatoes (yes, yes, there are those. Maybe not in every store, but they are completely sold) contain antioxidants such as anthocyanin.
