The way people eat potatoes generally ruins potatoesโ€™ reputation. When you deep-fry potatoes, stuff them with cheese, eat them in the form of chips, mash them with loads of butter and cream, or smother them with ketchup and other condiments, you end up adding significant amounts of saturated fat and sugar.
