Nutritional Value of Potatoes:
Potatoes are a surprisingly versatile and nutrient-packed vegetable, offering a wealth of benefits for your health. Here's a look at their key nutritional contributions:

* Good Source of Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 is important for brain development, nerve function, and the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates.
* Contains Dietary Fiber: Potatoes, especially when consumed with their skin, provide dietary fiber which aids in digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness, and can help regulate blood sugar levels.
* Source of Other Minerals: They also contain smaller amounts of other beneficial minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.
