Not all carbs are created equal. Some emerging research suggests the starch in potatoes that’s greatly increased through heating and cooling them, called resistant starch, may deliver similar health benefits to dietary fiber. Dietary fiber, like the 2 grams found in a skin-on medium potato, has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including curbing your hunger. Registered Dietitian Cara Harbstreet advises including foods you love, such as potatoes, in your daily diet, and that all foods — including your favorites — belong as part of your diet.
