We have never lived where we could plant potatoes. Bob got so excited about some potatoes that we had stored in our garage that had started to sprout. He decided to plant them. This was in the first part of May. Yesterday he decided it was time to dig them up! I protested loudly.........even pulled info up on the Internet that said..........WAIT! But one thing I know about Bob.........once he decides on something.........there is no turning back. So, here he came toting a bucket with potatoes.........to my surprise.......quite small but mature enough to eat. So, we have had our first harvest...........in JUNE!! Says hes going to do another batch........he may soon be known as Bob the Potato Head!
I was telling Robin this story and she told me about this great recipe for potatoes that I must try. If you have a mandelin use it to slice the potatoes, if not........slice them very thin. Put some olive oil in the bottom of a glass baking dish and a layer of potatoes, salt, pepper and another sprinkling of olive oil.......Repeat this as many layers as you need to. Ending with olive oil and salt and pepper on top............Bake 400 degrees until crispy and browned........the middle potatoes will be soft and perfect. Recipe courtesy of Robin Meeker Gaston!
