    Yes they are if you cook it and eat em with the skin on. And yes they do have vitamins and minerals. Also, the skin is rich in fiber, which is good for your health.

    They contain a lot of carbs, and not a lot of vitamins that you don't already get lots of elsewhere. It's best to make them only a small part of your diet. A good alternative is yams, which are packed with way more vitamins and antioxidants and less carbs.

    Potatoes are regularly a good source of many nutrition. what's undesirable approximately them is that fried potatoes of their numerous varieties are actually not stated with the aid of nature of the frying fat. Many fat utilized in frying have intense trans fatty acid content, as nicely as being intense in peroxides, polymers, and different oxidation products. So eat mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, potato salad, and so on., yet pass the French fries and the potato chips.
