Recipe: Potato Supreme
2 min readMay 31, 2023
A fast & delicious meal for people who don’t cook.
My book, The “Secret Science” of Weight Loss, included all of the recipes I was using at the time. But I’ve added a few since then! So I’m starting a recipe series. (This one is in the book, but I’ve expanded the instructions and added some options.)

- Preparation
— Rinse the potato(s), picking out any “eyes” (arsenic forms there).
— If you see green under the skin when you do that, peel it completely.
— (the potato was exposed to sunlight. The green layer contains arsenic) - Nuke a potato to “bake” it
— You can also bake it if you prefer, but nuking is faster
— The goal is “still firm on the inside”
— A fork should enter easily, but encounter resistance in the middle
(not too much, but some)
— The less resistance, the more fully cooked the starch, so it’s sweeter.
— But it’s the “resistant starch” that feeds the gut, so you want a blend.
— About 3 minutes for a medium potato works for me.
— Adjust up or down depending on size/number of potatoes - Cut into sections
— One long cut end-to-end down the middle of the top
— Turn 90 degrees and make a long cut down the side
— Then cut across into bite-sized sections (1/2" to 3/4") - Big pat of butter
— I use Land of Lakes Butter & Olive Oil blend
— It spreads easily, tastes good, and is reasonably healthy.
— 1 large tsp for a medium potato (I like butter!)
