The Perennial Potato
by Mrs. Richard C. Spence
Of all the vegetables our food markets offer, the potato
has long been and still is the favorite Food shoppers buy
enough potatoes to supply 5 to 6 medium potatoes each
week to every man, woman, and child in this country
For the money spent on
them, potatoes give a high
return in food value One
medium-size potato can sup
ply As much as one-fifth of
the ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
recommended for inclusion
in diets every day; and
worthwhile amounts of thia
mine and niacin (two impor
tant B-vitamins) and of the
minerals iron, phosphorus,
and potassium
Persons who are reducing
in weight sometimes shun po
tatoes because they believe
them to be high in calories
Actually, potatoes are no
higher in calories than many
foods, but added fat or gravy
can greatly increase the cal
ories m the potatoes as serv
ed For example, a potato of
medium size boiled, pres
sure cooked, or baked—pro
vide only about 100 calories,
approximately the same num
ber as a large apple or
orange or half of a large
