Homemaking Tips By Mis* Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent Potatoes have a place on the menu because they add variety, are an economical form of energy. and are high in nutritive value. Unfortunately, they have been misrepresented as "fattening.” Medical evidence and nutritional facts show that obesity is a problem of many Americans who should pay more attention to their eating habits. It seems that potatoes have gotten a reputation for adding weight and so many folks avoid eating potatoes to keep down their weight. Nutritionists point out that potatoes are a low calorie food and need not be fattening. A medium-sized baked or boiled potato contains only about 100 calories when you serve it without fat. The gravy, butter or other tat added to that potato Is what boosts the calorie count. When that medium potato is french fried it may contain as high as 450 calories and if made into potato chips, even more calories. The best method for cooking to keep the calories down, but the vitamins and minerals high, is to bake or boll in the skins. The vitamins and minerals mostly are in and near the skin. If you haven’t tried cooking potatoes in their skins and mashing by running through a rlcer, you are missing a real treat in flavor as well as greater health values. If potatoes are eaten dally, they cah provide as much as onefourth of your vitamin C needs the year around. The variety of 1 pqtatAes and the length of the time tW well as methods of cooking have an effect on the amount of vitamin C they contain. When potatoes are pared'and left exposed to the air for any length of time, part of this vitamin is lost. Other vitamins and minerals and starch are also In potatoes. Save time in preparation and avoid waste by getting potatoes that are smooth, shallow-eyed, uniform-shaped without irregularities. Be sure to avoid discolorstions, such as green # color which is known as “sunburn.” This discoloration usually is caused by exposure to sunlight or bright artificial light Greened potatoes usually have a bitter taste. To keep their quality, buy just the amount of potatoes that can be ' stored properly in a cool, dark, slightly moist place, with a temperature of about 40 degrees F. Place the potatoes so that the air can circulate around them. California produces more gold than any other state. Total .population of the U.S. in 1790 was 3,929,214.
