And while many coolers and summer picnics will be full of seasonal fruit like strawberries and peaches, everyone knows that there needs to be a solid sweet-to-savory snack ratio. That’s why people are reaching for potatoes when it comes time for a barbeque or ballgame.

Potatoes aren’t just for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (though we’ll eat them then, too!). As a power snack, potatoes are bursting with the energy you need to keep going all day long.

In addition to being one of the most satisfying foods on the market, America’s favorite vegetable is nutrient dense. A medium potato has the highest potassium of the top 20 most eaten vegetables and delivers 30% of your daily vitamin C. Plus, the high-quality protein (3 g) in potatoes may help muscles rest and recover after an active day in the sun.

“Summer holidays are a fun but hectic time. Potatoes are a fantastic pantry staple with a long shelf-life, which is especially important when you have a packed schedule and need to whip something up in a hurry that’s sure to please everyone,” comments RJ Harvey, director of culinary at Potatoes USA and a registered dietitian. “A delicious mix of flavor and nutrients at an affordable price mean potatoes really are the perfect snack.”
