Spuds Belong At Your Super Bowl Soiree

77th Alice in Dairyland Halei Heinzel joins Mid-West Farm Report in-studio for your Super Bowl party needs. She says potatoes can be used in many ways, whether you enjoy them fried, mashed, boiled, baked, or stewed.

“They’ll make the perfect addition to your indoor tailgate party as an appetizer or a main dish,” she says.

Wisconsin’s farmers grow six varieties of potatoes – Russet, Round White, Round Red, Yellow Flesh, Blue, and Purple potatoes – providing consumers with diverse choices for all their potato needs, even when shopping local.

Wisconsin is the third largest potato-producing state in the nation. It’s the No. 1 potato-producing state east of the Mississippi. On average, Wisconsin produces 63,000 acres of potatoes annually.

Potatoes are low in calories, high in fiber, and are a great source of vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidants. They also help to power athletic performance. When you use Wisconsin potatoes, you are gaining these benefits.

Heinzel is featuring Cheesy Chili Stuffed Baby Red Potato Bites.

“After boiling baby red potatoes, I use a small spoon to scoop out the inside of the potatoes. Then I mix chili and cream cheese together, fill the potatoes with the mixture, top with shredded cheese, and bake until the cheese is melty,” she explains. “The perfectly crisped potato, the gooey cheese, and the flavorful chili all combine to make the perfect appetizer.”
