According to Goodrich Cereals, potatoes are one of the most important food crops worldwide, coming in fourth place behind wheat, rice, and maize. They are a fundamental ingredient in most recipes and can be incorporated in new ways that you've probably never tried before. Hashbrowns for breakfast, french fries for lunch, or mashed potatoes for dinner - they're versatile for every meal. Plus, potatoes are filled with nutrients, fiber, and potassium and are naturally gluten-free (via Healthline).
