Potatoes are a great produce item that will last for weeks, sometimes up to a couple months with proper storage!  They are a versatile item that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  Here is a little potato-inspo for you! Also, check out this visual on the nutrition of potatoes. It's one of our favorites! 
  • Baked potato: Baking the whole potato or roasting it in cubes are both great ways to incorporate a potato into your meal.  You can stuff a whole baked potato with different proteins, cheeses, and veggies!  By adding different stuffings and mixing up the seasonings, baked potatoes can be very different from meal to meal.  Chopping, cubing and seasoning potatoes is another great way to add some different flavor profiles to your weekly meal planning. Experiment with different spices such as garlic, rosemary, or chili powder! Check out this yummy loaded sweet potato recipe from @budgetbytes.
  • Potato Side Dishes: Mixing it up with thick-cut or thin-cut fries and roasting them in the oven is a great way to get your fry fix at home!  What about home fries or hash browns?  Both are easy to do at home as a side for your meal.  You could even make your own homemade chips with a potato!  Similar to the baked potato, experimenting with different spices and seasonings can mix up the flavors and keep it fun and interesting. For instance, paprika and sweet potato is a great combination! We enjoy these baked fries with ranch seasoning from @wellplated. 
  • Potato Soups: Adding pureed potato to your soups can add a thick and creamy texture!  Potato puree can even be a substitute for heavy cream.  Try a regular potato or sweet potato soup, a potato leek soup, baked potato soup, or even potato-gnocchi soup!
