With summer BBQ season underway and the ultimate BBQ holiday just days away, Americans across the country have pronounced potato salad their No. 1 pick among healthy BBQ side dishes.

How can something so delicious also be so packed with nutrition? It’s the potato, of course! At just 110 calories, the base of America’s favorite vegetable side dish is packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
