Q&A: Center of the Plate Potatoes

Q:

I noticed that the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in St. Helena recently held a nutrition conference called Produce First!  Any thoughts on how I can make potatoes more center of the plate?

A:

This is an easy one. First of all, many chefs develop recipes for the protein to be placed right on top of potatoes. Below is a list with links to some delicious examples!
