Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for a moist end result. Avoid using the Russet spuds you may have on hand, as they have a drier, starchier texture.
Nutritional Bonus: One small spud offers 15% of your day’s recommended intake of vitamin B6. The water-soluble B vitamin is vital in the production of serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that help regulate your sleep and mood.
