Spudtacular Taters: Potatoes Pack a Punch of Nutrients

Posted by Izzy Fischer on
Now when I say potato, you say potahto – but when I say healthy potato, you may say sweet potato – and you’d be wrong about that. I'm talking about all 200 varieties of potatoes – not just sweet potatoes. That’s right, I even mean the under-appreciated russet! There are seven categories of potatoes that all have notable health benefits when eaten whole: russet, red, white, yellow, blue/purple, fingerling and petite.
