Cook's Tip
Soda and vinegar make burgers fluffy. Parsley or mint may be added.
Doctor's Tip
Potatoes contain vitamins C and B6, as well as potassium and folic acid. They give the feeling of fullness and satiety more effectively than other carbohydrate foods. We should avoid eating them fried because they develop acrylamide, a carcinogen.
