Potatoes, truly the most versatile vegetable, are used in an endless number of tasty dishes. But don’t potatoes pack a lot of calories? Wrong! Butter, cream and gravy are the calorie-laden culprits. So enjoy your spuds plain, sprinkled with fresh herbs or topped with a dollop of yogurt with fresh chives.

Potatoes, truly the most versatile vegetable, are used in an endless number of tasty dishes from pancakes to stews, soups, salads, croquettes, fricassees, quiches, shepherd’s pie, cakes and even potato candy. But don’t potatoes pack a lot of calories? Wrong! Butter, cream and gravy are the calorie-laden culprits. So enjoy your spuds plain, sprinkled with fresh herbs or topped with a dollop of yogurt with fresh chives.

Mashed is Smashing!

For great mashed potatoes, use Russet potatoes (also called Idaho) and don't beat them overmuch or they'll become sticky.

Jazz up the flavour with:
Dijon mustard, honey and fresh chives
Dried tomatoes and capers
Roasted red pepper and fresh basil
Green pesto

An average-sized potato (150 g) provides 45% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C and only 0.2 g of fat.
Potatoes are a vegetable, not a starch. Consequently, they belong to the vegetables and fruit food group, not grain products.
Plastic-bagged potatoes should be transferred to a paper bag at home to protect them from light and let them breathe.
Never store potatoes in the refrigerator, unless they are new potatoes.
