How to make potatoes in a healthy way?

Dr. Martin Fried answered

Specializes in Nutrition

Bake: Baked potato is the healthiest way to prepare them. You can also microwave a potato in the oven for 4-5 minutes depending on the size of the potato. I dont recommend frying in oil or adding sour creme or butter.
