In these trying economic times, we are all looking to save money whatever ways we can.  One way to save money is what we are using in our kitchen.  Did you know that potatoes are one of the least expensive items in the produce department, andbone of the most nutritious? In most places, you can still get potatoes for less than 25 cents a spud. With only 110 calories in a medium potato and being naturally fat-free, sodium-free and cholesterol-free, the tater can’t be beat.

The US Potato Board has come up with a website to help us all out called Mom’s Dinner Helper.  You can find great recipes, dinnertime tip, and Nutrition information. There are even places for you to share your own recipes, comment, and rate recipes to win prizes.  They even have a blog called Tater Talk where everything from parenting to potatoes is discussed.

If you are looking for a way to save some money in the kitchen, incorporating more potatoes in your diet is a good way.
