By keeping cholesterol and blood sugar levels in balance, fiber can help avoid heart disease. In fact, boiling potatoes were classified as the most satisfying in research evaluating the effects of different foods on satiety or fullness, with a score of 323 on the satiety index, over seven times higher than croissants. Potato protease inhibitors, which can reduce appetite and limit food intake to boost fullness, may be involved in the filling effects of potatoes, according to animal and human research.
