Spuds with everything for dinner until they're all gone NB
anyone got any good recipes?
I like them sliced in layers with onions and any other veg you fancy. Add a bit of stock and put in the oven til soft. You can speed it up by starting them in the microwave.
Onions and sprouts and mushrooms and garlic and chilli powder and mashed potatoes done as Bubble and Squeek in a frying pan and served with tomatoe sauce on top
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.
Newboy I grew Pentland Javelin & Vales Emerald 1st earlies, and Charlotte 2nd earlies. All stored in garage in paper sacks cadged the sacks from green grocer as I buy from him what I don't grow.
1st earlies starting to sprout so eating quickly Charlotte looking okay. Usually eat all before Christmas. If you've got a lot maybe rub the sprouts off until you get to eat them, but scoff 'em quickly
Nut that's my way of preparing spuds for veg bakes
Roasted potatoes freeze well so you could get ahead for Christmas. And mash freezes ok too. And you could make fish cakes and freeze them. Shepherds Pie too, homemade ready meals
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Around here you can buy a really big paper sack of potatoes for £5.00. I only grow some spuds in the summer for their flavour, not for serious storage.
Newboy, I only grow enough for two of us, I don't have space in veg garden so I grow them in sacks I don't have any holes or damage to them. By far the best producer for me this last season has been Charlotte. I buy my main crop spuds.
