Technically, they're a vegetable. And they do provide a lot of nutrients, especially if you include the peel and you're not eating the boxed, powdered kind. (If you ARE eating the boxed, powdered kind, no worries... It's still something to be grateful for!)
Before cooking it, hold the raw potato in your hand, and try to visualize it in its original home underground. While washing off the dirt, think about the value that this root has to you; the energy it provides. When you're ready to eat it, press your fork into a piece and feel its soft texture yield. Lift it to your mouth and press gently with your teeth. Enjoy the subtle, earthy flavor. Think of the many actions you will take throughout the day and how this potato will contribute to those. Take pleasure in the warmth and comfort of this food, and be thankful for its life-sustaining properties.
