Potatoes can be presented in kid-friendly ways and are nutritious to boot. Montana nutritionist and author Dayle Hayes showed a variety of potato dishes being served in U.S. schools to growers Wednesday at the Washington-Oregon Potato Conference.
Kids like potatoes, served baked, sectioned and spiced, or in a meatball cupcake presentation, she said. Hayes talked to growers about science, new regulations and about what they could do in moving forward to calm the criticism that potatoes aren't healthy.
