Good Chance with Potatoes & Sweet Potatoes

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are known for their high levels of potassium as a regular-sized baked potato can have up to 610 mg of potassium while a sweet potato would have around 541 mg. However, there may be a glimmer of hope with both types of potatoes as they can be soaked or leached to reduce the potassium they contain. You can dice the potatoes and boil them for roughly 10 minutes to reduce up to 50% of the potassium, while soaking for at least four to five hours may reduce the levels even lower. After all, you may be able to enjoy that potato pie but, of course, in moderation.
