I like white potatoes. Don' you? They are very versatile, satisfying, affordable and store well. White potatoes has been a steady staple for many families for centuries now. What is their nutritional value? Is there real concern for them being "bad" for your blood sugar, heart and weight?
Fact is white potatoes are often consumed in unhealthy ways, which may contribute to why so many think in general white potatoes are just bad for your health. People consume them in salty French fries, or bake them, then smother them in butter, sour cream and cheese. These unhealthy ways of preparation is first in line for what give white potatoes such a bad break.
White potatoes come in a variety of ways:
- classic russets (makes good potato soup)
- creamy red-skinned (my favorite)
- yellow-tinged Yokon Golds
The impact of white potatoes on our health is important to consider since people probably consume more white potatoes than any other vegetable. Let's take a look at the nutritional value of white potatoes.

There is valid concern about potatoes and "starch." Starchy vegetables of any kind tend to increase blood sugar more than non-starchy vegetables such as green beans and broccoli. This does not mean a person with diabetes can't eat potatoes. It only makes sense to eat them less frequently and in smaller amounts. You can also cut down on the impact of potatoes blood sugar rises. How can you cut down on white potatoes blood sugar rises?
- top them with a healthy fat such as olive oil
- eat them as part of a balanced meal with some lean protein such as grilled chicken breast and as a healthy alternative for the grilled children breast, you might try using Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder for the protein fix. Prepare a Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder milk shake to help you enjoy white potatoes within a healthy meal, of course, along with other colorful and flavorful vegetables and fruits
- pass up the French fries most of the time (you can treat yourself occasionally)
For now, it is felt by most experts that you can still enjoy your white potatoes if you eat them:
- in small amounts,
- bake, roast or boil and mash them,
- use herbs and spices for added flavor,
- keep the skin on whenever possible and
- eat them with a quality protein source to help take the bang out of the high blood sugar spikes, such as grilled chicken breast or a Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder milk shake. You might even find ways to incorporate the Plant Protein Powder within your white potato recipes.
