Weed Cutting notice
As I was looking at my towering
potato plants in my backyard garden
the other day, I felt a little nostalgic.
I didn’t steal any potatoes from the
hills, though.
I will let them grow to be large
potatoes. I bought some baby red
potatoes at the store to make this
week’s recipe.
Potatoes sometimes get a bad rap
related to their role in a healthful
diet. Some people avoid them. How-
ever, avoiding potatoes could short-
change you on several important
nutrients, including potassium, com—
plex carbohydrates, vitamin C, fiber
(especially if you eat the skin) and
other nutrients.
If you slather a lot of extra ingre—
dients on your cooked or baked po-
tato, you may please your taste
buds. However, you are not doing
your overall health a huge favor by
adding a lot of calories and, most
likely, saturated fat.
Potassium is found in abundance
in potatoes. You might be aware that
bananas are a potassium source. A
medium banana has 425 milligrams
of potassium. One medium baked
potato with the skin has 925 mil-
ligrams of potassium, which is more
than twice as much potassium as a
similar amount of banana.
Potassium is so important to our
overall health that the latest Nutri-
tion Facts labels now feature potas-
sium as one of the listed nutrients.
You also will see vitamin D and
added sugar on the new labels.
The changes to the label crowded
out vitamins A and C. We still need
these nutrients, of course.
The nutrition labels were ad- ‘
justed to focus on nutrients of con-
cern and also keep the nutrition
label the same size. You will notice
that serving size is in a larger font so
it catches our attention.
On average, an adult healthy
male age 19 and older needs 3,400
milligrams of potassium and an
adult healthy female needs 2,600
milligrams. Aim to get your nutri-
ents from food, and be sure to eat a
variety of fruits and vegetables.
Milk, yogurt and salmon also con-
tribute significant amounts of potas-
sium to our diet.
Why is potaSsium so important,
anyway?
Potassium is an essential mineral
and electrolyte. Our body needs
potassium to help our heart and kid-
neys function. Maintaining the right
level _of potassium is important for
your muscles and organs to function
at their best. Having an adequate
v amount of potassium may help with
blood pressure management.
Many Americans do not get the
recommended amount of potassium
from their diet as a result of short—
changing themselves on fruits and
vegetables. About 90% of adults do
not meet the daily recommendations
for fruits and vegetables, which
stands at about 4 1/2 cups in total
per day. Our needs vary based on
our age and activity level.
Here are a few more examples of
potassium-rich foods. One cup of
Swiss chard has 961 milligrams of
potassium, which is even higher
than the amount in potatoes. Three-
fourths cup of cooked beans, such as
kidney, navy or black beans, pro—
vides 541 milligrams. One medium
sweet potato with skin has 450 mil-
ligrams and 1/4 cup of cooked
spinach has 420 milligrams.
Certain groups of people are
more likely to have trouble getting
enough potassium in their diet. Peo-
ple with inflammatory bowel dis-
ease (IBS) such as Crohn’s disease
or ulcerative colitis or those who use
medications such as laxatives or di-
uretics are among those who may
have issues getting enough potas-
sium.
Older adults who might have
health conditions such as high blood
pressure, kidney stones or osteo-
porosis are another group at risk.
Before makingvmajor changes in
your diet, discuss them with a
health-care provider. Some medical
conditions require close monitoring
of potassium intake.

house. We enjoyed it with sauteed
green beans, lettuce salad and
grilled pork. It reminded me of the
meals from my childhood.
Garlic Smashed Potatoes
1 1b. baby red, Yukon Gold or
fingerling potatoes
Pinch of salt (kosher or table
salt), if desired
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper to
taste
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
Preheat oven to 425 F. In a large
pot, cover potatoes with water and
add a pinch of salt. Bring water to a
boil and simmer until potatoes are
tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and
let sit until cool enough to handle.
On a large-rimmed baking sheet,
toss potatoes with melted butter,
garlic and thyme. Using the bottom
of a small glass or Mason jar, press
down on potatoes to smash them
into flat patties. Season with salt
and pepper, then sprinkle with
Parmesan. Bake until bottoms of
potatoes are beginning to crisp and
Parmesan is golden, about 25 min-
utes.
Makes six servings. Without
added salt, each serving has 160
calories, 10 grams (g) fat, 4 g pro—
tein, 15 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber
and 220 milligrams sodium.
