Potato Mash

Not only is this a fun recipe to make but it is also the easiest.  Red Potatoes are arguably the most nutritious of the spunky spud family because of their gorgeous color.  The skin of the potato is filled with vitamins and minerals and FIBER, our super-hero this week.  You can eat any of following fiber friends we met in class (Apples, Raspberries, Carrots, Beans) but try this recipe to wow your friends and family!!

What you Need:

8 red potatoes

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

Sour cream 

StoryTime:

Once upon a time I put 8 potatoes in a pot of boiling water (very carefully). 

I let them cook for 20 minutes or until a fork could be inserted in the middle.  

I had an adult help me drain the water out of the pot and left the potatoes in.

I mashed them with whatever I wanted (fork, spoon, etc)

I added the milk, butter, and a little sour cream.  

I mixed all this together and found I had created a delightful healthy dinner entree (a fun 

                                                             word used to mean the main or biggest part of a meal).  

I skipped and danced around the room in delight as I added a dash of Salt and Pepper.

YOU GO LITTLE CHEF!!! 

You just created something that will give your body Potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese, just to name a few!
