Antigo, WI – Wisconsin potatoes are one of the most versatile vegetables on the planet – they're great for breakfast, lunch or dinner and they make for a healthy main course, side dish or snack. After all, potatoes are low in calories, fat-free, gluten-free and are rich in fiber, potassium and calcium.
To highlight the versatility of Wisconsin potatoes, the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) is hosting a Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Wisconsin Potatoes Recipe Contest.
