The Farmer's Market Diet

Rethink Potatoes

Yukon golds, ruby crescents, and Russian bananas -- these are not your mother's potatoes. These spuds can help you save big on fat and calories. Yukon golds have such a buttery flavor, you won't need to add the real thing -- a savings of 100 calories and 11 grams of fat. Eat the paper-thin skin for an extra dose of potassium to help prevent high blood pressure. Other novelty spuds that don't need additional fat for flavor: the tender, purple-blue Peruvian potato and the Ruby Crescent, which has such a creamy texture you won't miss mashed potatoes.
