Potatoes are so versatile. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew, and more yet. We buy a 50lb bag of potatoes from the Costco Business Center and have fun learning new ways to eat them.
It’s definitely possible to make potatoes unhealthy, but you can fix them up with your own ingredients and techniques to keep an eye on nutrition.
My current favorite thing to do: Bake 3 or 4 russets, ideally until just before they’re baked-potato-mushy. Dice them up in to nickel-sized pieces. Gently toss with a little oil and seasoning. Air-fry them at 400 F until crispy.
Then you can add them to burritos, have them with eggs, or just with some roasted veggies.

My favorite potato recipe is cutting 2kg down into small pieces, baking them with oil and spices at around 200°C, cutting up veggies and 600g of Feta cheese while it’s baking and adding them towards the end. Easiest way to make a large amount of food, all on a single tray. Only problem is the high amount of salt from the cheese.
