Highways To Health By ADA R. MAYNE POTATOES ARE PLENTIFUL It's no secret that there was a bumper potato crop this year. But with spring peaking around the corner there is still a large share of this all-time high pro duction of potatoes to be eaten. Every effort is being made to help homcmakers get potatoes of the highest quality. Low grade and deteriorating potatoes are being disposed of through manufacturing plants, livestock feeders and the export trade, which means there will be more US No. 1 potatoes on the home market and less of the poorer grades. Homemakers can do their share in helping to eat up this huge potato crop by serving them frequently Serving them scalloped, baked, creamed, In salads or soup, as well as mash ed, fried or boiled with the meat course, giving greater variety to meals. Potatoes are a carbohydrate vegetable which means they are a good source of energy. They contain small amounts of Vita min C, the B vitamins and iron, but much of their nutritional value is lost when they are peel ed and cut up for cooking. They are best cooked in the skin and eaten that way, for most of the nutrients lie Just beneath the skin. Relatively speaking, pota toes aren't fattening it's the gravy and fat that add the pounds. Potatoes just would not taste as good without the use of but ter, milk and cheese. The addi tion of these delicious dairy pro ducts add much to their taste appeal as well as their nutritive value. The addition of rich milk or cream and butter to mashed potatoes makes all the differ ence in the world in flavor. And a good hearty potato chowder will do wonders for a cold day luncheon. Tiny new potatoes rolled in melted butter and chopped parsley add a gourmet's touch to a spring dinner. And stuffed baked potatoes with cheese Ummm! Escalloped potatoes made with rich milk and butter become a meal in themselves when pork or lamb chops, sausages or wie ners are baked on top. Today's recipe is a delicious casserole of quickescalloped potatoes and wieners a perfect main dish for hurry-up meals and so econom ical too!
