Potatoes are becoming China's fourth staple food(主食)after rice，wheat and corn.Using potatoes as a staple can make our diets healthier and more balanced(均衡的)．They are good for us in many ways.
Potatoes are nutritious(有营养的)．They are rich in vitamin C．A potato's vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories(卡路里)—they have just 75 percent of the amount of calories that wheat and corn have.
Also，potatoes are easy to grow. People can grow them in almost every part of China. Potatoes don't need much water to grow. China is facing water shortage(不足)problems，so potatoes are a good choice.
Many Chinese people think potatoes are like vegetables. They cook potatoes along with other ingredients(原料)．But as a staple, potatoes can be cooked differently. Scientists have found ways to make potato flour，noodles and other staple foods，just like how we use rice or wheat.
