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!
