interesting fact for potato lovers

Oh my god, that is so disgusting, Red! I'm glad I don't eat at McDonald's anymore.

I read this article about potatoes a few years ago and tried to stop eating fried potatoes. I had the occassional french fry binge. After cutting them out of my diet to see if they effected it I'd have to say not to a huge degree but I did cut them out and haven't eaten them for awhile now. Best safest way to eat them is cooked them made into a cold potato salad since they form a resistant starch that way. Now if you could only find a potato salad recipe you could tolerate.

this is the BEST potato salad i ever had in my life. i've had lots and lots of different ones and german ones are "okay".. so so... some arent that good. but this one i couldnt stop eating. there is no mayo either. its soooooooooooooooo yummy:

For best results, prepare potato salad one day prior to eating and let sit in fridge for 12-24 hours.
Ingredients:
1kg Potatoes (best are golden/Dutch style potatoes)
1 Onion
6 Table Spoons Wine Vinegar
1 Table Spoon Mustard
2 Table Spoons Veggie Oil

Actions:
Boil Potatoes after cleaning them thoroughly for about 30 minutes or until done but not too soft
Peal Potato skins off and cut into slices while still hot
Cut onions into small dices
Seperately prepare marinade: Mix together Vinegar, Mustard, Oil, Salt, Pepper, and Sugar
Mix onions into marianade
Optionally add meatbroth
Pour marinade on top of potatoes in a bowl
Carefully mix everything
Let sit for minimum of 20 minutes in refridgerator (ideally a few hours or even overnight)
Before serving, taste and add marinade ingredients as needed to attain desired taste
Cut chives into small pieces and add on top
Ready to Enjoy!

well,  i haven't yet made this potato salad.. i had it in july at a friends house. he made it and i couldnt stop eating it.

didnt notice any difference in my symptoms as they were bad anyway the whole time.

i have been putting raw red onion in my tuna sandwiches lately. i guess i will stop doing that and see how i go.

personally, i usually only use olive oil as that is all i have in the house.

this is just the original recipe that i was given by my german mate.

they do have beef broth without MSG over here in australia. i dont eat MSG ever.

sugar, well, i eat sugary foods.

i was told that it wasn't a problem by all my doctors and my dietician...(can they all be wrong?)

don't seem to notice any extra issues when i eat sugar..

i dont really use pepper anymore.

mustard, occasionally on sandwiches.

see, the diet thing for me is different than other people ... i did the whole trying different diets for ages and none of them had any effect on my colon or pain levels or symptoms.  that is why i pretty much eat most things.  if it all hurts anyway, then i might as well enjoy good food.

and yes, now i do see the problem with a decent potato salad.. YIKES
