Potatoes are a nutrient‑dense vegetable that can play a meaningful role in helping people build satisfying, well‑balanced eating patterns. In this webinar, we'll be joined by Riley Peterson, RDN, Nutrition Director at Potatoes USA, who will help us examine the unique nutritional benefits of potatoes, from carbohydrate quality to the impact of preparation methods on satiety and metabolic response. We’ll examine emerging areas of research, such as resistant starch formation and evolving dietary approaches, and discuss how these insights can be applied across diverse populations and eating styles. To bring the science into practice, we’ll finish by preparing two satisfying potato-based dishes that showcase how this versatile and affordable vegetable can be incorporated into balanced, nutrient-dense meals.
Learning Objectives:
-

-
Analyze the effects of preparation methods on resistant starch, satiety, and metabolic response.
