I believe that is one reason why "steaming" instead of boiling is considered much healthier.

potatoes, and I'm not fond of raw potatoes - though there are those who swear

(assuming they are grown chemical free).  If you eat a diet of mostly fruits 
and vegetables you really can't miss getting enough potassium.    Sara
no,, it doesn't say that.  bananas are one of the high potassium foods to eat.  
it is just that a potato, with skin, has just four times more.  maybe that's 
why the irish are so hardy, eh?           jim
