Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Christmas is coming! Celebrating joyful seasonal cheers certainly comes with delicious food. When deciding a versatile yet nutritious food which is generally easy to get and easy to prepare, potato is one of my all-time favourites. Cooked potatoes with the skin are a good source of many vitamins and minerals, such as potassium and vitamin C. Aside from being high in water when fresh, potatoes are primarily composed of carbs and contain moderate amounts of protein and fiber.
I was so happy to be invited to attend Jingle U.S. Potatoes All The Way Christmas Workshop hosted at FunFun Event Space, Puchong, Selangor. This unique culinary event celebrating the versatility and flavour of U.S. Potatoes by featuring a variety of activities, cooking demonstrations and interactive workshops.
The event kicked off with guests arriving to a vibrant product showcase. They were presented with a Potato Christmas Garden displaying an array of U.S. fresh potato varieties such as Russet, Red and Purple along with different cuts of frozen U.S. Potatoes as well as instant U.S. mashed potatoes mixes.
