How many different ways can you cook a potatoe? Any good recipe's that are low in fat?

Question

Perhaps, something that isn't too time consuming.. ;-)

Answer 1

The lowest fat version you can do is straight forward boiled potatoes.

To Leen Argh - there are 75 calories minimum in every 100gms of potato, regardless of what you do with them.

Answer 2

Okay, this is tasty and sooo good for you.

It literally has no calories!

Basically, you microwave a large potato for 5 minutes or until a knife goes smoothly through it.

Then, you rub it with oil mixed with salt and bake it without foil or baking paper and pop it in the oven for half an hour, gas mark 8 (don't know what degrees celsius that is, sorry!) and it should come out golden/brown.

After, mash it with the skin on (or off, whatever you prefer. Just remember to bake it with the skin on either way cos it's more flavoursome).

After it is mashed, pile it onto a plate and top it with some fat free, Greek yoghurt (add some chilli powder/sweet chilli sauce to the yoghurt to give it on hell of a kick!)

Enjoooyyy!

NOTE: If you can't hack the hotness of chilli powder, try lemon and herb dressing with the yoghurt?

Trust me, it may sound like mash and yoghurt but it's -
1. a veggie alternative
2. healthy snack
3. bloody gorgeous!

Answer 3

My favorite was to cook potatoes is to cleans and skin them. Then chop them into large squares and boil them until they are cooked. Drain and add a tiny amount of butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Its simple but the fresh herb with the lightly buttered potatoes is so good. I love it.

Answer 5

New potatoes boiled are lowest - baked in their jackets are very good. Old potatoes mashed are fine, but don't add butter - use skimmed milk instead if you must! Chips obivously are the worst!
