If you are looking to produce one of the easiest plant on earth to grow and happens to be one of the highest yielding of all cultivated crops then potatoes are a great option. There has been one culture that subsisted of 90 plus percent of their food intake from simply the white potato. It is being used as a weight loss food today (but not as french fries and potato chips) but if times were difficult you could get most of your nutritional needs from the simple potato.

Kale is potentially one of the healthiest vegetables in the world. The great thing is that it is one of the easiest veggies to grow. It is always good to learn how to save seeds for various things you grow and saving kale seeds is a bit different than many of your garden veggies. Kale is biennial, meaning it takes two years to give you seed. The great thing is that it can overwinter in most of the US and you can eat it all winter long (if you have enough). I hope to grow enough this year to get me all through summer, fall, winter and spring. Her is my video on how to plant kale.
