National Potato Lovers Month Healthy Potato Recipes, Tips and Fun
Posted on Feb 21, 2014 by Maggie LaBarbera
This month is Potato Lover's Month.
Sometimes potatoes get a bad rap because of fast food/junk food products that used potatoes. Yes, I am talking about french fries that are commonly deep fried with oil filled with trans fat and potato chips.
But honestly, if you took any vegetable and cooked them that way, they would be just as unhealthy.
Potatoes are a vegetable and are filled with nutrients like vitamin C and potassium. My descendants are from Peru, the land that discovered potatoes and has over 3000 types of potatoes. So potatoes are a staple for us and a healthy one too!
So celebrate potato month with healthy recipes that use potatoes and know that your child is getting a serving of vegetables. But as always, color your plate with lots of fruits and vegetables!
