    Basically if you freeze or refrigerate potatoes or rice after you cooked it the starch in it retrogrades back to a more resistant form so it’s harder for the body to absorb. In effect it lowers the caloric value of the meal and also provides you with what is essential fiber for you gut.

      Whoah, that’s awesome. And it explains why fridged starches never seem to “recover.” I wonder if there are novel uses for fridged potatoes like there are for rice like fried rice

        fridged potatoes

        Idk what you people are doing but regardless of whatever the starch is like you can still do the same stuff with cooked or parcooked potatoes, you can make mashed potatoes, you can also deep fry them, throw them in soups and stews, whatever you want

        Steamed potatoes cooled down then ripped to bite sized chunks before deep frying is peak potato and no argument will convince me otherwise, i’ve seen how much people eat them vs other potatoes and people like potatoes
