I think my old love for a large potato share many housewives - took a couple of tubers with a fist, cleaned in seconds, but threw the soup - beauty. Whether business messing with a fine crop - until cleaned, cut yourself while already lost any desire to cook.
But, nevertheless, I recently learned that it is considered more useful small potatoesThat the people used to call the "peas". So, in this article I will share with you a rather interesting information that told me my mother in law. Thanks to her, I fell in love with "messing" with potato "trifles", as it turns out, is not only useful but also delicious.
It all started with the fact that, Lubov, who came to visit us for the weekend and decided to cook her signature soup. Naturally, I made sure that the house was the biggest potatoes, so to speak, is the best. But, to my surprise, the mother in law did not appreciate my efforts, and asked if we have smaller tubers. For me it certainly was unusual, how can you not love a big potato?! Therefore, I immediately asked my mother why she prefers "melkoturu".
It turns out that a small potato contains much less starchThan in large, which is why it is recommended to eat people, stick to the diet, and watching their weight. Moreover, in these tubers much more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that have a positive effect on human organism.
Another plus small potatoes - its thin skin, which is very advised to eat, in fact, it contains the bulk of the nutrients.
In general, now I became young admirer "peas" and not at all will experience when suddenly my potatoes would grow shallow - in this case it will be much more useful for its large starchy "girlfriends".
And yes, now I, on the advice of her mother in law, It has become increasingly small potatoes baked in the oven without removing the peel - it turns out very tasty, satisfying, and most importantly - the most useful.
