In addition to this, it has about four grams of fiber and about four grams of protein, which will provide a prolonged feeling of satiety (as opposed to, for example, from the salad of cucumbers and tomatoes).
CNN reports that, according to research, potatoes are better than pasta or bread, to cope with the challenge of reducing appetite.
In addition to the already mentioned protein and fiber, potatoes can provide the body with vitamin B6, vitamin C and iron.
