The potato or tuber is a storage organ that is developed from the swelling at the end of an underground stem. Potatoes that are harvested before they mature are often called "new potatoes" or "early potatoes." We chippers are always happy when the "new potatoes" crop comes in from Florida. "New potatoes" almost always are an appetizing soft golden color. These potatoes have a thin tender skin, which is easily rubbed off during harvesting and handling.

Any amount of highly-processed carbs will continue to trigger carb cravings in most people. They will also prevent those who have chosen a ketogenic diet from remaining in ketosis. For these reasons, it is highly advisable not to consume any high-carb foods, even in small amounts. Ketosis is a normal condition. Almost everyone's body goes into a state of ketosis during the night when they sleep.

Foods that qualify as grains/breads are foods that are enriched or whole-grain or made from enriched or whole-grain meal or flour. Bran and germ are credited the same as enriched or whole-grain meal or flour. Sweet foods such as cookies or cakes when made with enriched or whole-grain meal or flour and served may be counted in the SNACK program. Sweet snack foods should not be served as part of a snack more than twice a week.

It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.

You can purchase a low carb potato mix. The best thing to do is replace potatoes with turnips, cauliflower, or squash. Because turnips do not have a strong taste of their own and have almost the same texture and consistency, they tend to pick up the flavor of whatever they are cooked with. Make Turnip Salad (previously Potato Salad), fry them as fries, or au graten style. They are also wonderful in soups and stews.

YES! Potatoes are a low calorie, fat and cholesterol free vegetable high in vitamin C, potassium and a good source of vitamin B6 and dietary fiber. Visit the nutrition section of www.healthypotato.com for more information.

NO! It's all those delicious toppings we use that add calories and fat. The potato contains zero fat and a 5.3-ounce potato is only 100 calories. Check out "Healthy Potato Consumer Recipe Brochure" nutrition pamphlet for some low-fat topping ideas.

No. The potato tuber, the part we eat, is not poisonous, however the potato plant is toxic. Green portions on the skin of the potato are also toxic.

Small Idaho Potatoes are best for use in salads, while medium-sized Idaho Potatoes are quite versatile and can be used baked, mashed or fried. Large ones are ideal for French fries or the "meal-in-itself" baked potato.

There are two grades of potatoes typically sold in food service, a #1 potato from Idaho comes packed in cartons and has less defects, a nice oval shape with few eyes. The #2 is commonly used in situations where the overall appearance is not as important such as freshly made French fries, mashed potatoes or hash browns. The #2 is packed in burlap bags, plastic or paper bags or can also be sourced in a one-piece box.

No harm in eating the potatoes raw, but they may find them a little harder to digest than when cooked. Willard Scott, the famous NBC weatherman, does this all the time even making a point once to chomp down on an Idaho Potato on a harvest segment of the TODAY show a couple of years ago.

Probably baked with a squeeze of lemon, some salt and pepper. Topping the baked potato with salsa is also a good solution.

With the advent of the microwave, cooking potatoes has become much faster and more convenient. Many claim that the microwave actually bakes a more nutritious potato than a conventional oven, because the potato is exposed to nutrient-draining heat for a shorter period of time. Potatoes should be scrubbed, dried and pricked with a fork, then wrapped in a paper towel and placed one inch apart on a microwave rack. Cook according to your oven's guidelines, and turn potatoes once during cooking.

Potatoes are good for you, just watch what you put on them. Try salsa or steamed or saut?ed vegetables on a baked potato instead of butter and sour cream, watch the portion sizes on those fries. A medium potato has 26 grams of carbs, 3 grams of sugar. Here is the link to the nutrition information from our web site: Click Here. The sprouts that form after a potato sits for a while are not poisonous, its just the potato trying to replant itself.

To preserve the Idaho Potato's abundant nutrients, cook with the skins on whenever possible. And steam, rather than boil potatoes. Save the cooking water after steaming potatoes, as some of the potatoes' nutrients will have leaked into it. Use it to make gravies or bread, or to moisten mashed potatoes.

Once mashed they can be frozen but will typically oxidize or turn gray in a matter of days. To help prevent this, add a small amount (tablespoon) of white vinegar or concentrated lemon juice to the mixture once cooked.

Before storing spuds, look them over and use any bruised ones first. Since dampness can cause decay, it is best not to wash spuds before storing.
