Why You Need Potatoes In Your Diet And Easy Potato Recipe
My entire family loves bonding over food. If there is one thing that I could tirelessly do for my family, it is to cook delicious meals for them. One consideration in my meal planning is that I need to make sure that everyone at home enjoys and loves what I cook. Everyone in the family eats vegetables except my eldest and the only vegetable he eats is potatoes. So I really have to include potatoes in my meals more often.
WHY INCLUDE POTATOES IN YOUR DIET
I believe it is still best to get proper nutrition from whole food sources. Potatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin C (30% of DV) and a good source of Potassium (15%), nutrients we need to keep us healthy, energized, and strong. What’s more, potatoes have zero fat, cholesterol, and sodium.
HOW TO PICK FRESH POTATOES
In order for you to prepare your best potato recipes, you need to make sure you pick fresh potatoes that are clean, smooth, firm-textured, with no cuts, bruises, or discoloration.
PROPER STORAGE
Potatoes are a staple in my pantry. Aside from having longer shelf life compared to most veggies, they are also so versatile that they can be included in most of my recipes. They are also readily available and affordable.
But how should we store potatoes? Here are some tips:
● Do not wash potatoes prior to storage. Store them in a well-ventilated part of your pantry or kitchen. Wash potatoes only when you’re ready to cook them.
● Do not place potatoes inside the fridge as this converts the starch into sugar and causes discoloration.
● Do not place potatoes in areas where there is high temperature or direct sunlight. This might cause them to easily develop sprouts. Not to worry, just cut out the sprouts when you’re ready to cook the potatoes.
POTATO FORMS
Storage isn’t a problem, though, if you use dehydrated potatoes. Yes, you read it right, dehydrated. It’s the same nutrient-rich potatoes, with just the water removed. Potatoes USA makes products like potato flakes, granules, and flour available in the Philippines. Dehydrated potatoes take versatility to another level. You can use them in your main dishes, appetizers, snacks, and soups. They can also be ingredients in desserts, bread, and pastries.
Other potato forms that Potatoes USA promotes locally are frozen potatoes and, of course, fresh or table-stock potatoes that you can find in groceries nationwide. However, if you are interested in dehydrated potatoes, you can check out baking supply stores or reach out to Potatoes USA Philippines via their Facebook and Instagram.

1tb minced garlic
1/2xcup diced bacon
4tb butter
1can whole corn kernel
1 cup milk
4 cups chicken stock or water

Boil the potatoes. Set aside when its done. In a pan fry bacon then set aside. In the same pan put butter and sauté garlic and onions then add the flour then you can now add the stock simmer then add in the milk and potatoes simmer for a bit. You may add in the cheese while its boiling or top it when cooked but i like putting the cheese while its cooking to make it more creamier then when its done top your chowder with bacon and and cheese. ❤️ Perfect for a cold weather.
