Actually red potatoes are better than russett. I prefer new potatos over the three. If cutting though, sticking with sweet potatoes is your best choice.
new potatoes? yumm! Patrick, they are just as titled- 'New" crop, small size, a wettet potato.
I had red potatoes last night, the colored ones have a lower GI, sweet being the best as Jodi mentioned(and more flavourful IMO). The white potatoes would be fine post workout since they are high glycemic.
The swedish people are crazy about new potatoes It's in so many traditional summer dishes it practicly grows out of our ears I only have em on cheat days, but I sure do love em
How a potatoe is cooked? I usually throw them on the grill for about 40 minutes, is that alright? Also, can someone point me to this glycemic index stuff on regular potatoes?
Got GI indices for potatoes mashed, boiled, baked -- I think even for ones grown different places.
Another thing, the GI is not an immovable figure. GI is greatly affected by meal combination. Hence, if you eat your potatoes with protein and perhaps, if you are not a follower of Berardi, fat (as you should be), the GI of potatoes alone is pretty much irrelevant.
New potatoes look just like the red ones from what I can see in the picture Jodi posted. how many of those new potatoes do you eat per meal? I know theyre fairly small.
