Potatoes are staple to many people. I love potatoes and it does not matter what kind or type. At home, we always have some potatoes stored in the fridge. We keep them in the fridge to avoid them from sprouting. We have not tried planting them yet but one day, we will try. Right now, we ration everything we have because we do not know how long the lockdown will be.
When we cook pasta, we would add small cubed potatoes into the sauce. Usually we would fry them for a bit first before adding them and I especially love to steal some potato cubes after they were fried before adding them into the pasta sauce.
French fries, potato crisps, potato chips, potato wedges, I love them all although they are not entirely a recommended snack. I eat them very sparingly now, maybe once a few months. I used to eat them very frequently, weekly in fact. Now, as much as possible, I would refrain from eating them and with lockdown, it makes it easier to refrain. Like the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
I got these as souvenir from my brother last year. He knew I love french fries and these are dehydrated french fries. They are a bit hard but they are as close to french fries as can be. I eat them very sparingly because they are not cheap.
I like how they gave the french fries eyes, hands and legs :)
For healthier options, I absolutely enjoy having mash potatoes, baked potatoes, roast potatoes, grilled potatoes especially with a tasty gravy that goes very well with roast chicken or fried chicken. I love potato au gratin too and have you tried sweet potato chips? They are yum! Sprinkle some seasoning and pop them into the oven.
