Irish Potato (Small Portion)

The white color of the Irish potato is the main distinguishing attribute that separates it from other tubers like the sweet potato, common potato and yams. It has an oblong shape that sometimes may appear as an unshapely roundness. The texture and shape of this tuber are actually the secrets to its great menu inclusivity. For instance, when you boil it whole, it will retain its color and shape, even when peeled until you mash it into some dense mix to serve with stew. The tubers are also sumptuous in boiled, fried, and roasted forms.

Potatoes aren’t usually thought of as nutritious. However, this all-purpose vegetable has some surprising health and nutrition benefits. Although french fries and potato skins may be heavy in fat and calories, the potato itself is fat and cholesterol-free as well as low in sodium. Prepared the right way, potatoes can make a delicious, satisfying, and healthy dish.
