Cara Harbstreet, nationally recognized food and nutrition expert; intuitive eating registered dietician joined us to tell us more.

She says that potatoes are America’s favorite vegetable and for a very good reason. They are delicious, affordable and have a long shelf life. Also, many of the cooking methods are much faster than you think.

Across the varieties of potatoes, the nutrition will be very similar so all of their potatoes will provide nearly one third of the vitamin C you need for the day. There is also more potassium than twenty most popular fruits and vegetables and potatoes have three grahams of plant-based protein, and fiber to keep us full.
