Potato Nutrition

Americans love potatoes – mashed, roasted or baked…and rightly so! The potato is a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with fiber and essential vitamins and minerals.
Consumers are often surprised to hear a medium-sized, 5.3-ounce potato is:

• A great source of Vitamin C
  
• An excellent source of potassium when eaten with the skin
  
• Only 100 calories
  
• Less than 10 percent of the daily value of carbohydrates
  
• A good source of fiber when eaten with the skin
  
• No fat, no sodium, no cholesterol
