Red Days: White potatoes?

[Jodieboo]

Hi everyone. I'm looking at introducing some red and green days into my eating plan.

Just looking over the red day healthy extras in my 2012 directory and it says that I can have 230g jacket potato with skin on or 200g new potatoes with skin as a hxb.

It's very rare that I buy either of these and I usually just buy normal white potatoes from Asda. Would I be able to have these as a hxb?

Thanks x

A jacket potato is any potato cooked in the oven (or in the microwave) whole and unpeeled.

It isn't a special kind of potato - it can be any variety, white, red, whatever.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Anna xx

No problem. They key thing is to leave the skin on and eat it - it's a healthy extra because of the fibre.
