Mashed potatoes with garlic and chives

Did you know that a medium-sized potato provides as much vitamin C as an orange?
Also that potato's potassium level is as great as the banana's - but it contains fewer calories.Surprising isn't it? I think potatoes are the  most versatile of all vegetables - taking on various textures and flavors depending on the way they are cooked. They are boiled, mashed, fried, baked,served whole, made into potato chips, used in potato salad, used in curries and added to vegetables. There are innumerable ways in which this humble vegetable can be cooked - whatever the way they always taste great!
