Potatoes are totally underrated. Kinda. They're so versatile and easy to prepare (saute, bake, boil, roast, or use in soups) not to mention- super highly nutritious. They supply lots of energy since they're high in complex carbohydrates (the good carbs; stay away from bad simple carbs), loaded with essential fiber, which keeps the digestive tract healthy, and has all sorts of Vitamins (C and B6- vital to wound healing and strengthening the immune system) and Minerals such as Potassium (more so than bananas!)- which is important for cell maintenance. Potassium is also an electrolyte that balances the body's fluids. Also, potatoes are a very alkaline food and reduces acidic wastes in the body, thereby balancing pH levels.

Loads of ground Black Pepper

Mix together mustard, oil, and lemon. Throw in herbs, onions, parsley and salt, stirring until well mixed. Drizzle over chopped potatoes in a large bowl and mix it up! Enjoy immediately or serve chilled...
