In recent years, potatoes have been pushed out of the spotlight by sweet potatoes, but they still have nutritional value and should definitely be apart of your diet. National Potato Month is the perfect time to learn about potato health benefits.
Potato Nutritional Facts
One baked potato contains nearly half of your daily recommended potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 needs. Potatoes are also a good source of folate, fiber, magnesium, and other nutrients. Celebrate National Potato Month with yummy recipes like potato and leek soup. Also, consider roasted potato bread or, if you want something more elegant, try goat cheese, leek, and potato galette with a pistachio crust.
