Anyone got potato recipes (healthy)?

great question Allison!


Potatoes are very healthy its just what you put on them. I like to add chicken broth to a bakes potato instead of butter to lower the fat and tons of calories then top it with some good homemade chili. Here's a few more recipes for you to try.





Home made baked Jo Jo's


1 potato per person


Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning


Pam





Pierce and microwave the potatoes for each person. Carefully remove the potato from the microwave and cut the potato lengthwise into wedges (I quarter them). Place the wedges on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with Mrs Dash and lightly spray with the Pam. Broil wedges until lightly browned about 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely.

sweet potato and sausage soup








This hearty soup gets rich flavor from linguiça, a delicious pork sausage from Portugal seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices. Spanish chorizo sausage is a great substitute.








Ingredients


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil,


1 10- to 11-ounce fully cooked smoked Portuguese linguiça sausage or chorizo sausage, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices


2 medium onions, chopped


2 large garlic cloves, minced


2 pounds skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 3or 4 large), peeled, quartered into 1-inch-thick pieces


6 cups low-salt chicken brot


1 9-ounce bag fresh spinach





Preparation


Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook until brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain. Add onions and garlic to pot and cook until translucent, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add all potatoes and cook until beginning to soften, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Add broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Using potato masher, mash some of potatoes in pot. Add browned sausage to soup. Stir in spinach and simmer just until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
