Our mashed potatoes are one of our most popular sides here at Farm Stand and now we have made them even healthier and tastier! We’ve decided to make the switch from russet potatoes to healthful red potatoes. So, we decided to fill you in on why we made the switch.
Compared to russet potatoes, red potatoes contain five times as many antioxidants. Red potatoes are also rich in nutrients including iron, vitamin C and potassium. Iron helps provide the body with energy and oxygen, while vitamin C aids in skin tissue development and prevents against free radical damage to the body’s cells. Potassium, meanwhile, is great for all cell, tissue, and organ functioning to the body. Red potatoes also contain high levels of protein, which helps prevent cardiovascular disease, the number one killer in the U.S.
