What's in it for you?

Spuds have gotten a bad rap in the diet world. Potatoes are not fattening! It's what you put on potatoes that can make them a nutrition nightmare. Potatoes are low in fat and high in nutrients. They are rich in vitamin C, which helps prevent colds and flu, and are loaded with potassium, a mineral that helps keep your body's fluids and other life-essential minerals balanced.
