Herbed Baby Redskin Potatoes
I found these fabulous baby redskin potatoes at the farmers' market. What a treat!
So creamy and delicious, and loaded with nutrition.
Unfortunately, because potatoes are usually white inside, and they are a starchy vegetable, they have gotten a bad rap from the low-carb group. But they certainly do not belong in the "avoid white food" category that contains refined white flour, sugar and white rice. Unless you are deep frying them in oil as french fries, potatoes are a very healthy food.
Potatoes contain vitamins c and b6, potassium, fiber, and rival broccoli for their phytonutrient content.
Good potatoes do not require a lot of fussing. Prepared simply they are very satisfying. I used the green tops of red onions, but you can substitute chives, dill, rosemary, or any other herbs you like.

Those look sooo good! I love such simple recipes like this that feature the main ingredient and don't distract from it.
And I agree that it's such a tragedy that many people group potatoes in with white pasta and bread. They are a whole, unprocessed vegetable, and as long as you're eating them like you would any other vegetable (i.e. not every single day), then they can be a delicious and healthy part of your diet.
What beautiful potatoes! I agree with you about eating potatoes - everything in moderation. If we fry and binge, that's where we run into problems.
I love potatoes, and those look delicious. Simple and delicious.
Thanks for sharing.
Potatoes are so versatile and are a daily staple in my home. These look delicious!
