Sweet Potatoes
If you need more convincing to eat sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, there you have it: they are a great nutritious way to increase your potassium intake. A 1-cup (328-gram) portion of mashed sweet potato contains 16% of the daily value (DV).
Plus, sweet potatoes are low in fat but packed with fiber and carbs. They are also high in vitamin A, which is essential for keeping your eyes healthy.
For a filling and balanced meal, you can pair these wonderful root vegetables with some protein such as meat or beans, some colorful vegetables or dark greens, and a little fat.
