School Meals

Potatoes are an ideal ingredient for school meals because they are naturally low in fat, full of fibre, vitamin C and folate as well as being low in sodium. What's more, they can be sourced locally and children enjoy eating them. Simple potato dishes are great for getting children interested in their food - with different shapes, mixtures of colours, tastes and textures.

Potato Day Pack:

Having a Potato Day can be fun, highlight healthier eating and positively promote school lunches. The pack is designed to help the school run and promote a themed day in the canteen, focusing on different cooking methods or varieties of potatoes. It supports the whole school approach by suggesting ways to link the Potato Day theme to the school curriculum and to after-school activities.

You can request a guide on how to organise a Potato Day in a Primary School and additionally a recipe booklet featuring 10 nutritionally balanced recipes and you can order free posters by visiting www.potatoesforcaterers.co.uk.
