The Unsung Hero – The Humble Potato

Where would we be without the potato? This starchy crop can be served in a variety of different ways, making it a winner in many different meals. It has a place at breakfast, lunch, AND dinner – even some desserts too! We LOVE potatoes, and why not? They’re an incredible source of vitamins and minerals (they even pack more vitamin C than tomatoes and oranges).

Fun Fact: Americans eat about 138 pounds per person a year.

Here are 8 reasons why we love them so much:

French Fries:

French Fries

  • Whether they are smothered in cheese and bacon, chili and cheese, or just by themselves with a side of ketchup, french fries are always a great side option. And they come in all shapes and sizes – curly, crinkly straight, waffle, etc.

 

 

Potato Pancakes:

  • Potato + Pancake = Just all around perfection.

 

 

 

 

 

Home Fries:

  • Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and can be prepared in a number of ways – chuncked, sliced, wedged, or diced potatoes. These are definitely a Breakfast Shoppe favorite!

 

 

 

 

 

Tater Tots:

  • We couldn’t ask for a better way to finish off a meal. They work for breakfast, lunch and dinner and go with just about anything.

Mashed Potatoes:

  • Need we say more? The ultimate comfort food.

 

 

Potato Chips:

  • There is no better shack than the potato chip itself. This fact cannot be disputed.

 

 

 

 

 

Plain Potatoes:

    • What? Just plain? You bet. Potatoes can be processed to make vodka, and Poland is famous for it! Yes. We said it, Vodka.

 

 

 

Couch Potatoes:

    • Even though we can’t eat these kinds of potatoes, they are surely a favorite. We all have a little bit of couch potato in us, and they are the best kind of people to curl up on the couch with to binge watch your favorite Netflix show.
