"Potatoes are one of the vegetables you should be adding to your baked goods. This is because when unseasoned, they have a pretty neutral profile, so they won't add actual flavor or steal the spotlight from chocolate, cinnamon, or whatever your dessert is. But they will greatly elevate texture. They hold onto moisture, so in a cake or bread, they ensure a moist, never-dry consistency."
"They also have some weight to them, helping the structure of your baked goods. Additionally, potatoes are nice and hearty, making desserts more filling; this is appealing for those of us balancing our sweet tooth with our healthy lifestyle. On that note, potatoes also add nutrients like vitamin C and potassium. There are so many different ways to eat potatoes for dessert. Potatoes work wonders in chocolate cake, cinnamon buns, truffles, lemon bars, and more."
Potatoes lend baked goods increased moisture and weight, creating moist, never-dry cakes and breads with improved structural integrity. Unseasoned potatoes have a neutral flavor profile, so they do not compete with dominant dessert flavors like chocolate or cinnamon. Potatoes add heartiness that makes desserts more filling and provide nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium. Potatoes can be used in many dessert forms, including chocolate cake, cinnamon buns, truffles, lemon bars, and donuts. Mashed potatoes add creaminess and starch that thicken dough, yielding moist, rich results.
