Article is a }{ot potato! what I see about the potatoes

[Guest guest]

I never see anyone eat the potato plane, they put sour cream on it,

or make fries, or a bunch of that liquid bright cheese sauce. I eat

alot of potatoes and I think they are good and healthy, I sure don't

have a big stomach, it's big on the inside because I'm always hungry

but flat on the outside. I think the chocolate would be bad.

I agree, it's probably not the potato itself, but rather the condiments

and method of preparation (i.e., french fries). However, it does look

like they took account of the latter by separating out a french fry

consumption category. Sweet potatoes are probably a better choice for

keeping sugar spikes to a minimum.

 

And let's not diss chocolate! Study after study is finding it to

be of benefit to cardiovascular health, including lowering blood pressure.

 

So, in the spirit of harmony, let's combine the two into a chocolate

potato fudge!

I haven't tried this recipe, but someone at work once brought in

a chocolate potato fudge and it was great. Maybe someone could

try this and we could file it as a tried and true.

 

 

Enjoy!
