Potatoes are a versatile food, which children enjoy.
They provide a range of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C and folate.
Potatoes are naturally low in fat and sodium and high in carbohydrate and fibre.
A pack has been developed to help promote school lunches and to encourage children to eat potatoes as part of healthy balanced meals by holding a Potato Day. The pack encourages schools to highlight different varieties of potatoes and cooking methods. Having a Potato Day can be fun, highlight healthier eating and can encourage children to have a school lunch.
The Potato Day Guide for school caterers offers ideas suggestions and advice on how to set up, promote and run a themed Potato Day in your school. The guide also gives support and ideas for linking the Potato Day theme to the school curriculum and to after-school activities.
As well as the guide, you can request a recipe booklet featuring 10 nutritionally balanced potato dish ideas designed to appeal to school children. You can also order a complete supporting resource pack which contains your Potato Day Guide, 10 Potato Recipes, fun potato stickers for pupils and two free colour posters.
