Hi, I'm Ramiro, a DaVita dietitian for people on dialysis

NOTE Confidence: 0.821490466594696

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:06.639
who require a low potassium diet.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9447100758552551

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.607
It's important to limit your potassium intake because your kidneys

NOTE Confidence: 0.9447100758552551

00:00:10.661 --> 00:00:13.795
aren't able to make urine that removes potassium from your

NOTE Confidence: 0.9447100758552551

00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:14.119
body.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9269931316375732

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.607
But just because you should avoid certain high potassium vegetables

NOTE Confidence: 0.9269931316375732

00:00:18.657 --> 00:00:21.573
doesn't mean you can't still enjoy limited amounts of them

00:00:21.623 --> 00:00:22.879
in your favorite recipes.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9631632566452026

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.075
So today I'm going to show you how to reduce

NOTE Confidence: 0.9631632566452026

00:00:26.131 --> 00:00:28.720
potassium and potatoes by double boiling them.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9322097301483154

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:37.187
First peel the potatoes, then slice, dice or shred into

NOTE Confidence: 0.9322097301483154

00:00:37.331 --> 00:00:39.200
small pieces.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9602072834968567

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.000
Add to a pot of water and bring to a

NOTE Confidence: 0.9602072834968567

00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:43.360
boil.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8386625647544861

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:51.263
Once they have boiled, drain the potatoes then transfer them

NOTE Confidence: 0.8386625647544861

00:00:51.374 --> 00:00:53.040
to fresh water.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9619106650352478

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.588
Bring them to a boil again for 10 minutes, then

NOTE Confidence: 0.9619106650352478

00:01:02.653 --> 00:01:03.040
drain.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9466086626052856

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:16.560
Now you have potatoes with approximately 50% less potassium.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9308987855911255

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.474
As always, talk to your doctor and dietitian about what

NOTE Confidence: 0.9308987855911255

00:01:20.535 --> 00:01:23.279
to eat based on your individual requirements.
