Potatoes definitely don’t have to be a no-no when choosing carbs. Cooked and cooled potatoes are high in resistant starch, which has been found to pass through the body in much the same way as fibre and so doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugar levels. And these potatoes come with their nutritious skins on too.
