Potato

The potato is a versatile and humble vegetable.

Baked, scalloped, au gratin, and in French fries. Just use your imagination.

Potato salad is a mainstay at picnics.

There are so many potato salad recipes. Most include mayonnaise and/or mustard of some kind, but the variations are endless.

You can add hard boiled egg, chopped pickles or relish, red or green pepper, and any number of other vegetables.

Potatoes were made for casseroles! With white sauce or cheese sauce, they pair perfectly with meat dishes.

And what other vegetable has its own bar stocked with toppings?

Of course, the potato is fried--do you want fries with that?

However, the potato is one vegetable that is not often eat raw, at least not in the Western Cultures.
