Potatoes, as others have said, are relatively easy to grow and are nutritious.
If space is limited, Geo Pot Potato Bags are fun to use. They're a good baby step to gardening.
High quality soil is the key. I like to think of plants as a byproduct of the microbial organisms in the soil. Keep those beneficial bugs happy and thriving, and the plants will be more pest and disease resistant. Living organic soil is the "new" thing nowadays that farmers 100s of years ago understood intimately.
Use heirloom seeds, if possible. Sometimes supermarket potatoes are treated with sprout inhibitors, so they won't grow or will grow a little wonky. To test them, put a few in a paper bag and leave in a warm spot above 70 degrees for a couple weeks to see how well they sprout.
Also, being familiar with what Plant Hardiness Zone you live in is always helpful.
