Relatively complete protein: It contains all the essential amino acids. Not 100% as much as meat, but it has the highest protein content among starchy vegetables. A medium potato = 4g of protein. High in Vitamin C: One potato with its skin contains approximately 30% of your daily requirement. An apple only contains 4-5%. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and produces collagen. More potassium than bananas: Regulates blood pressure and prevents muscle cramps. Scientific term: Potatoes are rich in “resistant starch” unless you cool them after cooking.
