Beta potato is a normal food, eat it cooked simply with some veggies. We always had it at home, no harm. Just dont overdo the fried versions na.

Potatoes are fine in normal amounts, but since i had gestational diabetes i had to limit them. They spike sugar quickly. If you dont have sugar issues, enjoy them in moderation, just dont make everything deep fried.
