Eggs are a good source of not only proteins, but also vitamins and minerals. Potatoes contain a large deal of carbohydrates (which are essential to provide us energy enough), potassium, water, and fiber. The latter is crucial as it regulates the body’s use of sugars.

It is important however to regulate the amount of calories, which can be easily dealt with by roasting the potatoes.
