Under and within the jacket
of the potato are important
food values "a good part of the
days need for Vitamin c, some
Vitamin B. and iron and other
minerals. Well known as a
Starchy vegetable. potatoes are
a good energy food.
Homemakers should get the
good from this vegetable-bake

In preparing potatoes, variety

laurels. Save time. money and
scarcer ingredients by serving
potatoes, unadorned. often.
