As a general rule, 5lb of seed potatoes will give you between 50 - 75lb of edible potatoes. With those calculations…lets calculate how many pounds of potatoes will come through the market. Ok, let’s not! That is just to much math for me, I think my brain hurts! Let’s just say we will have plenty of potatoes!
Growing up, potatoes were one of the favorite things to eat. They were either part of the meal or the meal all by itself. One of my favorite “potato” meals were fresh made French Fries! (Not the potatoes out of the bag in the freezer section of your local grocery store.) We are talking a big old raw potato that you forced through this cutter that made perfect fries. Then, you threw them in grease and let them fry till they were crispy and brown! After they were fried, you piled as many on the plate as you could possibly fit, added a ridiculous amount of salt and put a pile of ketchup on the side of your plate to dip you delicious fry in. Oh my word, I need to get me a potato and some hot grease. Of course, I also just ate them raw. Now that is really delicious!
What about you? What is your favorite way to eat a potato?
