Show Us Your Taters!

DENVER, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A #TopTater worthy dish is not your average baked potato or ho-hum casserole. It's delicious. It's memorable. It's different. It's a potato dish that makes you go "yum!" And ultimately, it's a potato-centric moment that could earn you the chance to win the $100 prize that the United States Potato Board (USPB) is giving away every week.

"Consumers and chefs are cooking with potatoes like never before. It's so exciting to see dishes like Potato Nachos, Breakfast Skins and Tater Tot Thai Lettuce Cups coming out of home and professional kitchens these days," said Meredith Myers, Consumer Marketing Manager. "We want to celebrate potato innovation so if you see a #TopTater dish at a restaurant, at the grocery store, at a street vendor cart or even on the grill in your own backyard, tell us about it!"

No matter how you enjoy them, don't forget the nutritional power of potatoes: one medium-size (5.3 ounce) skin-on potato contains just 110 calories per serving, boasts more potassium (620g) than a banana (450g), provides almost half the daily value of vitamin C (45 percent), and contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol. With seven unique potato types and many ways to prepare them, you can enjoy potatoes every day of the week.

A weekly $100 #TopTater winner will be announced on the Potato Goodness Facebook page every Friday through June 26, 2015. Visit www.PotatoGoodness.com for more mouthwatering #TopTater inspiration and official contest rules.
