How to make baked potato breakfast

  • These potatoes breakfast were half boiled and then baked in the oven to finalize the cooking. Boiling potatoes before baking them save time and let's be honest, the electricity bill too!
  • Get big potatoes that can feed one person
  • Clean then boil them. I go for boiling instead of steaming because these potatoes are huge.
  • Once the potatoes have boiled at high heat for 20 mins
  • Drain them and using an oven glove to protect you from burning, put the boiled potatoes on a baking tin
  • Bake for about 20 mins or so, insert a fork to verify the cooking when the fork inserts deep without any forcing then your potatoes are baked
  • Meanwhile, slightly cook frozen red fruits, don't use high heat, the potatoes will be already hot, and you don't want to lose all the vitamins.
  • However, you can use fresh fruits if they're available
  • Once the potatoes are baked, let them cool and then serve with red fruits
  • Eventually, you can bake your potatoes in the evening and slightly warm them in the morning.

Health benefits of baked potatoes breakfast

You know that potatoes are high in carbs, but let's take a microscope and scrutinize these potatoes.

  • Baked potatoes will provide you with both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Fiber will regulate your digestion and insoluble fiber will be food for your gut microbiome.
  • Potatoes are a good source of Potassium, Iron, vitamin B6, and C.
  • Iron in potatoes is largely found on the skin, that's why you should NEVER PEEL your potatoes gal!!.
  • Potassium is essential in your body as it regulates your heartbeats, your nervous system, and contraction of your muscles, etc…
  • It plays a role in controlling the amount of liquid in your body, by balances the effects of sodium which can cause water retention in your body.
  • It also plays a role in your bone health.

Potatoes have vitamin B6

  • B6 is necessary for your nervous system to function properly, for your skin, & muscles.
  • It's required in the production of serotonin, the hormone that controls your moods.
  • B6 is needed in the production of red blood cells (hemoglobin) as well as the formation of new cells in your body.
  • Vitamin B6 is important in brain development and support immune functions during pregnancy.

You'll increase the amount of Vitamin C and K, minerals like Manganese, Copper, and others by topping these baked potatoes with a combination of red fruits.

Note that Vitamin C will enhance absorption of Iron found in potatoes! and even though potatoes have vitamin C, it's degraded by heat.

This potatoes breakfast with red fruits is loaded with antioxidants that are going to help your body fight free radicals that are responsible for causing diseases.

Antioxidants are anti-inflammatory, making this breakfast an anti-inflammatory meal.

I hope I have convinced you enough for you to try out this potato breakfast, If I did, then I am glad. Bake your potatoes in the evening, if you can't afford the time to do all the baking early in the morning.

Another tip is to leave the frozen fruits on the kitchen table at night, in the morning just warm them a little bit to better appreciate them.

Now, my dear friend, I am blowing you😘😘😘😘, wishing you the best in everything you're doing. Share this recipe and pin it, talk to you soon...

Loving you, Githu.
