This weekend I was able to attend the Society for Nutrition Education Annual Conference in Reno, Nevada, where we continued to spread the word about healthy potatoes! At our booth we served up the USPB’s Quick & Healthy Greek Potato Salad and people were amazed to learn that it was made with fat-free Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. With the flavors of feta cheese, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, red onion and lemon juice, believe me, you don’t miss the mayo one bit!
We also asked attendees to “Proclaim their Love for Spuds” on a poster at our booth. The responses were great! Here are a few of my favorites:
I Love Potatoes because…
- “They are nutritious, filling and a wonderful veggie!
- “My state is famous for them!
- “They are a perfect food! Vitamin C, fiber, yummy, versatile.”
- “They are easy to cook.”
- “They increase longevity.”
- “I grow my own!”
- “My favorite meal!”
Now tell me – why do you love spuds? Leave a comment below and let me know!

They take on many flavors, but also have a great flavor by themselves.
