[…] while I was on theme of vinegar based dinners, I tried this recipe for salt and vinegar roasted potatoes, which was pretty good. Definitely a jazzed up and tasty roasted potato. Spinach salad rounded […]

So much to say and ask. What are fingerings? I can’t get malt vinegar – which is sprinkled over the fish and chips best in newspaper. My parents didn’t listen to me either. Years and years ago I had gone home to England for a holiday. While I was there my mum was admitted to hospital. She was retaining bath loads of water and her heart had problems beating. Any case she said that the dietician would be coming to see her. I told her that the first thing they’ll do is cut out your salt. Don’t be so silly Judy was the pleasant reply. Well of course I was right and I was only a lowly bank worker. Why do they always think we don’t know what we’re talking about.

Thanks for this recipe. I absolutely LOVE salt and vinegar chips but they are a big no no from a package. I have some major health issues that restrict my diet in horrid ways. In fact most of them are contrary. With congestive heart failure, diabetes, gastroparesis, thyroid problems and GERD, my dietician threw his hands in the air and said “Broiled chicken!” It will be nice to throw this in as a complement occasionally.

I am a big fan of malt vinegar on french fries, like British fish n’ chips, and this is very reminiscent of those, so I will be making these up as soon as I get more potatoes. Will probably try with chunks of fingerlings or other small varieties, such as the pink, yellow and purple I’m growing for the first time in laundry baskets in my garden — hooray, it’s almost potato harvest time here in Philadelphia!!

In reply to Samantha Angela.

It’s really tough. Honestly, I think focusing more on whole foods, eating less processed, and eating out less is the biggest barrier in reducing sodium intake. For those of us who love to cook, sodium tends to not be an issue. I aim for 2,300 milligrams or less, though. Some meals are high in sodium and I think that’s good to know to balance it out, but in reality, the body looks at averages. I love chili, it’s high in sodium…but if my lunch is 400 milligrams, well, I’m going to be well within DRI’s for the day. I don’t stress about it much for the average joe without hypertension. Once we’re talking congestive heart failure and fluid restrictions…it’s a whole different ball game. 🙂

These potatoes look so delicious, Nicole! I’ve just discovered your blog, and I’ve gotta say I love what I see! Your recipes all look scrumptious and I love that you include nutritional info. So helpful, especially since due to a recent diagnosis I’m now living low-carb. Going to check out your cookbook now and hopefully snag a copy for myself!

Perhaps if our Sexy Doctor Jim would take it one step further to discourage Pa Prevention from multiple martini evenings we’d be onto something. Oh, yeah, Doctor Jim is a martini drinker too. One step at a time………………..Hugs,

So what exactly are your thoughts on sodium intake?
Since I don’t eat out very often and I make most meals from scratch at home I feel like I probably shouldn’t worry too much about how much salt I’m consuming…but I do enjoy my foods on the saltier side.

It’s pretty tough to monitor sodium intake when you’re not eating stuff with a nutrition label, but I think the stuff with a nutrition label (ie. processed foods) has the most sodium.

One of my favorite flavors of chips! My dad doesn’t listen to me about anything either. I’m studying to be an NP and even though I know a lot about health, I think what I say goes in one ear and out the other!
