uuuuipui i, norm Carolina, weaneMiuy,juij *u, iyy* spud’s for you if nutrition is important By Babs Wilkinson One of my all-time favorite vege tables is white round potatoes which are so often called new potatoes. They seem to be a choice for many because the average person eats about 124 pounds of white potatoes annually. If you are shopping for some fresh-from-the-garden white rounds, here are some buying, storing, hand ling and cooking tips. When buying, choose firm potatoes with clean, fairly pristine skins and few eyes. Choose well shaped potatoes free from wrinkles, green streaks, cracks, bruises, sprouts and decay. When storing, potatoes should be scrubbed gently in cold water with a vegetable brush. Peel skins if desired, but the tender skins of white, rounds have good flavor as well as nutrients (such as vitamin C). To preserve whiteness of potatoes, cover peeled potatoes with cold water for a short time before cook ing. Amounts: Generally, allow five to six ounces per serving. One pound of white rounds is equal to three me dium potatoes, three cups peeled and sliced, two and a half cups peel and diced, two cups mashed and two cups French-fried. Nutrition: Potatoes are naturally low in fat and sodium and rich in potassium, fiber, some B vitamins and, if unpeeled, high in vitamin C. Both the carbohydrates and iron in potatoes are almost totally usable when digested. One five-ounce potato when boiled, steamed or baked has about 100 calorics. SALSA POTATO SALAD 3 medium white round potatoes 1/4 cup diced sweet red pepper 1/4 cup non-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons commercial hot salsa 1/4 cup chopped celery 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro 3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream’ 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin .
