It is no secret that the "earthen apple", as this vegetable is sometimes called, came to us from the west. And many probably know that Europe was the first to taste the fruits of the earth, using it not for everyday food, but rather as the healing properties that European scientists attributed to potatoes. And that, by the way, is not in vain, because it differs in the content of many useful substances and a high amount of carbohydrate.
For this, more than one potato recipe possessing useful properties was prescribed. Special decoctions were brewed, various ointments were made, which, as doctors of previous years assured, were medicinal. But the secret of useful properties lies precisely in the proper preparation. If you digest potatoes so much that hot water destroys all the nutrients and there is only one trash left, and if you don’t cook it, then the raw fruit will not bring so much benefit.
Nowadays, more than a hundred different dishes of all kinds of variations have been created: fried, baked, boiled, and even there are several dozen raw cooking methods. More than one potato recipe describes the preparation of a variety of salads; flour, juicy and healthy pancakes, pancakes are made from it, and there is even the possibility of making potato dough.
