Potatoes: Because potatoes are rich in potassium, therfore are restricted for renal patient, by soaking the potatoes and boiling the potatoes you reduce the potassium under those cicumstance a little may be eaten.

Maybe, but take care: Need to reduce the potassium! cut potatoes into very small pieces (grated) to expose the potato surfaces to lots of water. Studies show the amount & temp of the water and time soaked or boiled makes a difference.
