Potatoes are perfect food!

Two nights ago, we had mashed potatoes with our dinner.  I made too much (as usual). This time, instead of piling it all on our plates, slowly killing us, I put some in the 'fridge as leftovers.  I just reheated the leftover mash, added some (more) butter, and then drizzled a very small bit of Bovril over it... and, holy nom, that's good!

You'll get no arguments from me there.. I love potatoes!  .

When I make mash, I always make way too much on purpose. I use an ice cream scoop to make evenly shaped dollops which I freeze, then I have instant real mash for a few more meals!

This is brilliant!  I need to get the ice cream scoop out of storage!  Hehe

Mix in some grated cheese, a little paprika, a very small amount of flour, salt, pepper. Then fashion into pancakes, cook in  a bit of butter until crispy on the outside....

When i was living with my partner, I always kept a bowl of boiled baby potatoes in the fridge, as he liked to snack on them.  If he didn't eat them all through snacking, i then had a ready source of potatoes to cut up and either fry till crispy, or to make potato salad with, or to throw into curries.

Now he's just a weekly visitor, but i still boil up a pot of spuds if i know he's coming up to mine. Old habits, etc.

That's really sweet. 

When I was poorly as a child, my great grandmother always made me a huge bowl of mash with heaps of butter, cream, and the exact right amount of salt and pepper.  Other children got chicken soup.  I got mashed potatoes and gosh darn, they were always AMAZING! 

I love potates in virtually any form.

That sounds heavenly.

Aww, Aquila, your great grandmother sounds like an awesome person!

She does sound like a wonderful granny. Everyone needs one like her!

And potatoes. God's gift to mankind. The Perfect Food.... 

Kept my ancestors alive!
