Potatoes and Starch
GlitterandLace;
If you take your raw potato - and stab it with a fork several times - and then put it into a pan of water - making sure the water covers the potato and let it sit for several hours - a lot of the starch will seep out - just like when you are making french fries and have them in water - the white starch goes to the bottom of the pan. This can be used for either white potatoes or sweet potatoes. This way - you won't get the starch/carbohydrate problem. This is how a lot of diabetics are able to eat baked potatoes, since they have to limit their carb intake. Try it and see if it works. Hope it does, and that your counts continue to improve.
