Hi Everyone, We're always being told that if we eat potatoes, boiled ones are better than mash because mashing breaks down the cellulose which releases the sugars more quickly. Surely though, if you have boiled potatoes they are 'mashed' when you chew them and so both kinds are mashed by the time they reach your stomach. Is there any scientific research about this? [Apart from some roasties on Sundays I only have sweet potatoes but the mashing problem has been bugging me for a while].
