Fall Potato Recipes from the U.S. Potato Board


Back-to-school season is in full swing, which means families everywhere are back to juggling carpools, soccer practice, dance lessons and packed lunches, among many other activities. That’s why the United States Potato Board (USPB) has partnered with Susan Schuman of the award-winning food blog Our Family Eats to create two new family-friendly potato recipes that will make getting a nutritious meal on the dinner table a breeze this back-to-school season.

Schuman also will host a live chat on the USPB’s Potatoes, Taters and Spuds Facebook page on Aug. 29 at Noon PDT (2 p.m. CDT)Schuman will answer questions about her potato recipes, share tips for cooking for a family and discuss how she finds the time to create healthy meals while balancing her family and job. To join the chat, “like” the Potatoes, Taters & Spuds Facebook page and begin posting your questions and comments on the page wall at Noon PDT on Aug. 29. Click here to RSVP.
The USPB also launched a “Real Meals: Pin to Win!” Pinterest contest on the Potato Goodness Pinterest page. The contest invites fans to create a “Real Meals” pin board featuring potato recipe images for the opportunity to win a deluxe slow cooker and SpaFinder.com gift card. Click here for all the details.
The base of America’s favorite side dish is packed with nutritional value. A single, skin-on medium-sized (5.3 ounce) potato has just 110 calories, more potassium than a banana and almost half your daily value of vitamin C (45 percent) and zero fat, sodium or cholesterol.
