Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!
Snub The Potatoes
Potato-based dishes seem comforting, but here’s why you should pass on the mash and its cousins at any buffet. While delicious, dishes like mashed potatoes, fries, and scalloped potatoes are packed with carbs, quickly filling you up and leaving less room for a diverse plate.
Plus, they’re often loaded with extras like butter, cream, or cheese, dialing up the calorie count. Though potatoes have health merits—like being a good vitamin C and potassium source—the buffet versions tend to sideline these benefits. In the grand buffet strategy, saving stomach real estate for a wider variety of foods might be your best bet, making the spud snub a savvy move.
