Question

How To Get The Most Nutrition Out Of An Idaho® Potato

How do I get the most nutrition out of Idaho® Potatoes?

Answer

To preserve the abundant Idaho potato nutrients, cook with the skins on whenever possible along with steaming, rather than boiling the potatoes.

Save the cooking water after steaming potatoes, as some of the potatoes’ nutrients will have leaked into it. Use it to make gravises or bread, or to moisten mashed potatoes.
