[Recipe] Healthy U.S. Potato Vegetable Fritters

It's time to eat healthy at home and create some interesting dishes using U.S. Potato! 

When it comes to choosing healthy carb as one of the cooking ingredients, my favourite would definitely go to the mighty U.S. Potato. Do you know that the U.S. Potatoes are one of the most versatile vegetables for any occasion, power-packed with nutritional benefits and are easy-to-prepare be it baked, steamed, boiled, fried or grilled? 
 

Do you know that one medium size U.S. Potato contains the following?
❤ Only 110 calories per serving! Low-calorie yet more energy-packed than any other popular vegetables.
❤ 30% of your daily energy requirement
❤ 27 milligrams of Vitamin C
❤ 26 grams of carbohydrates, a key source of energy for muscles
 Helps support the body’s immune system that helps boost our immune system naturally to help us fight against illnesses. 
❤ Rich in Vitamin B6 with one medium potato providing 10% of the recommended daily value. Vitamin B6 is important for proper cell function. They help with metabolism, creating blood cells, and keeping cells healthy.
❤ 3 grams of plant-based protein per serving - the building block for muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.  
❤ High (620 milligrams) in potassium, or 15% DV more than a medium-size banana.
