Potatoes are a near perfect food for humans.

  

They even contain protein!! and vitamins!

  

Potatoes are also incredibly satiating and versatile.

  

If you have followed me on social media the last few years, you have seen my famous “purse potatoes.” I’ve taken them everywhere: to the opera, snowboarding, camping, baseball games, weddings, work conferences, and on long international flights… ✈️

  

I also tend to substitute a potato for bread and I love loading up baked potatoes with all kinds of toppings as a healthy alternative… I’m talking potato “hot dogs” 🌭 & “pizza” potatoes 🍕

SIX WAYS TO COOK POTATOES IN THE SUMMER:

  

(a.k.a. Without an oven because it’s already a bajillion degrees outside)

  

Potato pocket (a special cloth pocket for cooking potatoes in the microwave. You can find them in some supermarkets and on Amazon). I use this pocket to carry my potatoes around.

  

Microwave.

  

Slow-Cooker (wrap each potato in foil, LOW 8-10 hours)

  

Pressure Cooker

  

Campfire (chop, wrap in foil with an ice cube, toss on coals).

  

Grill

  

Electric Steamer

  

BOTTOM LINE: A baked potato with stuff on top is a totally fantastic, healthy meal.
