Kidney Concerns: Keep Potassium in Check
Potatoes contain a high amount of potassium, great for most people, but problematic if you have kidney issues. If this applies to you, speak with your doctor about appropriate portion sizes.
You can also reduce the potassium content by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of water, then draining and rinsing them before serving.

Whether it’s adjusting the preparation, keeping an eye on portion sizes, or listening to your body’s signals, you can still enjoy them in a way that supports your health.
Take care of yourself—and savor every bite with peace of mind!
