Potatoes are one of the most popular products, since we grow them in large quantities at our summer cottages or buy them in stores at a low cost.
Also, don’t forget about the impeccable taste of potatoes: they are good in any dish and with any cooking technique.
Some food options may be healthy or safe for your body, while others may cause harm.
Which potato based food is the most harmful?
The first place can be easily divided between French fries, fried potatoes and potato pancakes. The reasons are simple: a large amount of oil, high calorie content, trans fats and carcinogenic substances.
If you eat these dishes on a regular basis, you may encounter excess weight. But this is not the only unpleasant consequence.
As a result of heat treatment, the oil and the potatoes themselves release toxic substances that can provoke the development of cancer.
Therefore, a safer option would be to cook potatoes in the oven: the taste will remain almost the same, but such food will bring benefits.
