The New York Times' "Recipes for Health" - a regular series of ultra-nutritious, usually veggie-heavy recipes in the Health section - are pretty hit or miss, in my opinion. But this week's recipe, which subs potatoes for seafood in a traditional French bouillabaisse, looks awesome. Potatoes, leeks, onions and poached eggs float in a rich, silky broth of tomato and saffron, served with crispy homemade croutons. Potatoes, as the article points out, got a bad rap during the low-carb years. But skin-on potatoes are full of B vitamins, vitamin C, fiber, potassium and complex carbs. Plus, a 7-ounce potato with the skin has only 220 calories and zero grams of fat. Add vitamin C-rich tomatoes, protein-packed eggs and phytonutrient-filled onions and garlic, and you've got all kinds of goodness.

The use of poached eggs has to be a first - good luck with that.
Gee, I wish I could be on the cutting edge like the NYT.
