Is a potato a complex carb? Yes. But treat it like a complex carb that needs a chaperone. Don’t let it run wild. Eat the skin, let it cool sometimes, and pair it with other foods. It’s not a villain; it’s just a starchy tuber with a PR problem.
So next time someone says, “Potatoes are bad carbs,” smile. Nod. Then hand them a cold potato salad with a side of truth. You’re welcome. Now go eat a spud—responsibly.
P.S. Sweet potatoes are also complex carbs, and they’re just as cool. But that’s a chat for another coffee date.
