Potatoes are decent choice for diet with affordable price. In a study designed to identify which vegetables provide the most nutrients per unit per cost, potatoes had the highest score per dollar (along with sweet potatoes and carrots) on 9 important nutrients - potassium, fiber, protein, vitamin A, C and E, calcium, iron and magnesium.

There are 7 main potatoes type that can be found at major grocery stores. Namely.

1) Russets - look for brown, netted skin and white flesh. Enjoy them baked, pan-fried, mashed or roasted
2) Petites - Loo for small, even "bite-sized" potatoes. Don't let their size fool you, because their flavours are actually more concentrated and they cook more quickly.
3) Fingerlings - Look for small, slender "finger sized" potatoes, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches in length. Pan-fry them to showcase their wonderful nutty and buttery taste.
4) Reds - Look for rosy red skin and white flesh. Enjoy them in soups, stews and salads to get the most of their subtly sweet flavour.
5) Yellows - Look for golden skin and golden flesh. Bake, roast or grill them up for a slightly sweet, caramelized flavour.
6) Purples / Blues - Look for deep purple skin with flesh that ranges from purple to lavender to almost white. Roast them, then toss into salads for a pop of colour.
7) Look for white (sometimes light tan) skin and white flesh. They make extra-velvety mashed potatoes and grilling brings out a full-bodied flavour.
