Let’s make National Potato Day on August 19 spud-tacular!

Crispy, creamy, mashed, roasted, baked or fried, potatoes are a beloved comfort food and one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen. From Sunday dinners to holiday feasts and everyday meals, potatoes appear in dishes we all know and love.

Not only are they delicious, they’re also surprisingly nutritious. Did you know a medium potato is packed with vitamin C, potassium (even more than a banana), and fiber, especially if you leave the skin on? Naturally low in fat, sodium, and cholesterol, potatoes can be a wholesome addition to almost any meal when simply prepared.

Whether you enjoy them as French fries, hash browns, in a summery potato salad, or oven-roasted with herbs, take a moment to celebrate this popular veggie on National Potato Day. It might even be the perfect time to try a new recipe or share a favorite with a friend.
