Potatoes – Fat Free and Satiating


Satiate
Here are some definitions I found:

1. To satisfy (an appetite, for example) fully.

2. To provide (someone) with more than enough; glut.

Filled to satisfaction.

1. to fill or supply beyond capacity or desire

2. to supply to satisfaction or capacity

[C16: from Latin satiāre to satisfy, from satis enough]

Potatoes are filling and satiating. They leave you feeling satisfied and full.

To get even more healthy benefits from potatoes. Par-boil and keep them in the refrigerator. The cooking and cooling gives the potatoes the Resistant Starch effect:

Resistant starch is any starch that resists digestion; is not digested and absorbed in the upper digestive tract (our small intestine), and so, passes down into the large bowel (our colon) to feed our good bacteria. See, when you boil starches, and then let them cool, some of the starch can recrystallize into a form resistant to our digestive enzymes. So, we can get resistant starch eating cooled starches: pasta salad, potato salad—or, cold cornmeal porridge. (source: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/resistant-starch-colon-cancer/)


My go to when I am hungry: get those cold pre-cooked potatoes and slice them and put them on the sandwich press and grill them to your desired crispness and enjoy with some ketchup or mustard or both.

The sandwich presses I am referring to are something like these (non-affiliate links):
