Cubans eat a lot of potatoes when we can, and we have a wide variety of recipes that include them. This time we bring you a healthy and economical way to prepare them: sliced, baked in the oven, with onion, oregano and a touch of olive oil.

The potato is a tuber from the nightshade family, native to the Andes, and it is believed there are more than 5 thousand varieties. It is formed 80% by water and has a high content of starch, potassium and vitamins from groups A, B and C.
