I've cautiously added organic local potatoes to my diet this winter. During the long winter here in the far north, it's hard to find most kinds of veggies. So my staples have been local carrots, celeriac, beets, and mushrooms, along with the local potatoes (sometimes cooked with pumpkin or sunflower seeds).
The local potatoes are small, flavorful, and a great accompaniment to meat (especially my new favorite, duck legs). Also I think potatoes are high in C which is good in the winter.
Also most importantly, they don't seem to trigger cravings. I have found that the regular supermarket potatoes taste a lot sweeter and seem very different from the local ones.
I find the sweet potatoes are too sweet and sometimes do trigger cravings, which is too bad because they're high in carotene.
Love the golden beets too, a good accompaniment for lamb or pork.
