Nutritious Cooking with Beef and Potatoes

The Beef Checkoff funded National Beef Cook-Off® and the US Potato Board are excited to partner at IFBC this year to showcase the delicious flavors of beef and potatoes! Here are two great beef and potato recipes we will be serving during Friday’s Taste of Seattle and Gourmet Fair, Simple Beef & Potato Skillet Olé and Simple Spanish Beef & Potato Wraps. Stop by our table to taste these dishes and receive recipe cards and more great information.

Calorie for calorie, beef is one of the most nutrient-rich foods. Not only does it provide several essential nutrients, but it has one of the highest concentrations of protein, vitamin B-12 and zinc compared to many other proteins.

Don’t forget, one medium-sized skin-on potato has 110 calories, more potassium than a banana, almost half your daily value of vitamin C (45 percent) and zero fat, sodium and cholesterol.
