Potatoes a favorite

Potatoes are one of America’s favorite vegetables. They are also one of the most versatile vegetables — great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. The potato is a nutrient dense food — which means that per calorie they supply relatively large amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients. A food dense in nutrients is opposite of one that supplies “empty calories. A medium size baked potato served plain has about 100 calories. The potato gives us a wide spectrum of valuable nutrients. For example, the potato is one of our most imporWebster police give report The monthly report for the North Webster Police Department was presented to the North Webster Town Board during the regular monthly board meeting Wednesday, Oct. 9.

tant sources of complex carbohydrates, often lacking in the American diet. The potato is also a good source of. Vitamins C and 86. The skin supplies fiber. Buy potatoes that are fairly clean, firm and smooth. Choose potatoes with regular shapes so there will not be too much waste in peeling. Avoid potatoes that have wrinkled or wilted skins, soft dark areas, cut surfaces or a green appearance. Choose potatoes of uniform size for even cooking. Store potatoes in a cool, humid (but not wet), dark place that is well ventilated. The ideal temperatures are 45 to 50 degrees. Stored under these conditions potatoes may be kept for several weeks. At temperatures over 50 degrees potatoes should not be stored for more than one week. Warmer temperatures encourage sprouting and shriveling. Do not refrigerate potatoes. Below 40 degrees potatoes will develop a sweet taste, the result of starch turning to sugar. This increased sugar will cause the potato to darken when cooked. Avoid prolonged exposure to light which causes potatoes to turn green. This greening causes a bitter flavor so it should be pared off the potato before it is used. When cooking potatoes, gently; scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush or sponge to clean. If the potatoes must be peeled, care should be taken not to remove too much of this layer because the richest concentration of vitamins and minerals is just under the skin. Potatoes retain nutrients better when cooked whole, however, they may be halved, sliced or diced before cooking if shorter cooking time is desired. Can or freeze potatoes for future enjoyment. Potatoes can be canned by washing, scraping and rinsing small new ones. Boil ten minutes in water then drain. Pack hot leaving one inch headspace. Adjust lids. Process in pressure canner 30 minutes for pints or 40 minutes for quarts at ten pounds pressure. It is best not to freeze raw or cubed boiled potatoes as they tend to disintegrate when thawed and reheated. If a recipe calls for potato chunks or cubes as an ingredient, make it without the potatoes, then add the potatoes when reheating. French fries can

be frozen. French fries are best when fried three to four minutes at 325 degrees. Drain, cool immediately in refrigerator, package and freeze.
