Potatoes
Potatoes should have good rich color and have few eyes. They should be firm, smooth and clean.
Potatoes can be baked, boiled or fried, and may be used in soups and stews. Try thin slicing potatoes, drizzling with olive oil, sprinkle with seasoned salt and bake. Top baked potatoes with an assortment of vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and beans. Fry potatoes with skins on for a "home made" taste and look.
Use a vegetable peeler to peel potatoes. Sprinkle raw potatoes with lemon juice or apple juice to keep them from browning.
Store potatoes in a dark cool place to keep them from turning green.
