US Potato Culinary Festival Kuala Lumpur 2015

Do you like to eat potato? Well, potatoes are not just great for any meals but they are good for our body too. One medium-size (5.3 ounce) skin-on US potato contains just 110 calories per serving, boasts more potassium (620g) than a banana, provides almost half the daily value of vitamin C (45 percent) and contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol. So who say potato is fattening? It's not true. Hey! I also learnt that we can create many delectable dishes using potatoes after attending the US Potato Culinary Festival Kuala Lumpur 2015 recently at Vila Danieli, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur.
