Potatoes provide a very good source of potassium, niacin, vitamins B6 and C, fiber,
and pantothenic acid. Potatoes also provide a decent amount of protein. Even
though the protein content in potatoes is about the same as that in corn and rice,
potatoes contain lysine, which is an essential amino acid that is usually not found in
grains. Most of the nutrients, including the fiber, are found in the skins. Boiled
potatoes may be an effective treatment for skin wounds. Their skin treatment
capabilities are especially beneficial in some third-world countries where modern skin
graft procedures are not available.
