HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Sugar Browned Potatoes are not particularly healthy, they can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation. Potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, and may aid in digestion and blood sugar control. However, the addition of sugar and butter can negate some of these health benefits.
