When it comes to baked potatoes…

I thought new potatoes were small and white. Those are the only ones that I ever had, and they pair quite nicely with fish and a green veg like asparagus, broccoli or spinach.
So many delicious ways to prepare them!

I wish that I didn't like white potatoes as much as I do because I know that they're not as healthy as other veggies. I also eat sweet potatoes. Do you like those as well?

I always thought potatoes were pretty neutral in the food category. At least when it came to my dogs, when I would cook homemade food for them, I was allowed to give them (in addition to boiled & strained meat or broiled white fish), white rice (but not brown or mixed grain), and potatoes (such as white or sweet potatoes). I even have sweet potato treats that I give him. He's on a super strict diet.
What happens when you eat them? Do different potatoes affect you differently, or is it more like the volume of potatoes? Does it matter if you don't eat the skin (since that's where all that fibre is)? Also, I know that Russet and Idaho tend to differ due to the starch content, making Russet a sweeter potato.

How about pasta?
It might be a carb thing. Carbs cause water retention and that can slow things down. I know that if I eat bread or anything too starchy, I can actually feel my body begin to swell and get puffy.

If it's a smaller Russet Potatoes and baked in the oven wrapped in aluminum foil I usually do because they turn out softer that way.
I don't eat those too often though. Mostly only the small red new potatoes.
Have you eaten a baked potato from Wendy's? I've never been able to ask someone who's worked there how do they have them at the ready? Like how many do they have baking at a time during the day?
Yes I eat the potato skins. Never had a red baked one.

Do they only serve them one way? I'll have to check them out. I didn't know they sold potato skins. I knew about the potatoes as I've had one before (all I remember is that it was very dry and not very sweet). Might have been the timing, though.

Okay, so they don't serve just the skins. I've had their baked potato once before, and maybe it was just the time of day, but it was just very dry and bland. I should try it again at some point.
