You heard it here first: the Idaho Potato Commission announced a multi-year partnership with the American Diabetes Association (ADA), making Idaho potatoes the first vegetable to participate in the ADA’s esteemed Better Choices for Life program.  Every 23 seconds someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with diabetes. The goal of this partnership is to enhance people’s understanding of nutrition, especially carbohydrates; help build healthy eating habits and debunk some myths about potatoes and diabetes.

Brighten up your diet with Idaho® Potato Gnocchi, a perfect dish for this time of year. Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes and rice them after they’ve cooled. Combine with flour, salt, and egg to create the gnocchi dough. For the sauce, add the remaining ingredients to a pan, heat, and keep warm. Bring a different pot of water to a rolling boil and cook each gnocchi for 30 seconds or until it begins to float. Plate the gnocchi, ladle the sauce overtop and serve while warm!
