#43: Loaded Hash Browns
Plain potatoes can provide potassium and other useful nutrients. Loaded hash browns are different, especially when they are fried until crisp and covered with cheese, bacon, creamy sauce, or salty seasoning.

The frying oil and toppings can make this side dish high in sodium, saturated fat, and calories. After 50, try roasted potatoes cooked with a small amount of olive oil. Adding peppers, onions, herbs, or an egg brings flavor and substance without relying on processed meat and heavy cheese.
