Potatoes should be crowned the king of all vegetables! They go with everything. Even when you have nothing at home, you know potatoes have your back. Every year, August 19 is celebrated as National Potato Day and why not the versatile vegetable does deserve a day of appreciation. Potatoes, also known as Spud may grow in the roots of a plant but are grown as a vegetable crop.
