Are potatoes bad for you if you have high cholesterol

Have to lower my cholesterol and am trying to watch what I eat; is there a type of potato that is best?

Answer:

Hello,

Potatoes will definitely help you to lower your high cholesterol level; because they have the necessary nutrients you need to keep healthy.

Potatoes have vitamins, minerals, fiber and they do not have cholesterol or fat.

You can eat any variety. The russet variety is one of the most popular, but my two favorites are the yukon gold and red potatoes since they are great for boiling and mashing. For baking I would recommend the russet variety.

The healthiest way to cook potatoes is by baking or boiling them. Avoid to add greasy toppings like bacon, for example. Instead, you can eat potatoes with other vegetables if you like.
