One thing I got from reading "The Saccharine Disease" is the importance of potato skins. Eating the skins with potatoes apparently has a few benefits. First, it adds fiber which lowers the glycemic index. Second, the skin appears to be a source of additional vitamins.
Honestly, I had never thought about this before. But I have been eating whole potatoes with the skins lately, and it has been pretty neat. Adding some oil to a hot potato makes for a tasty food choice.
