So, I decided that I wanted to make homemade potato chips. I sliced potatoes and deep fried them and they actually came out really delicious. I was so impressed with myself. My family was too as they gobbled up those potato chips. I made so many that I decided that I would put them in plastic storage bags so the kids could eat them the next day.
Bad idea.
They next day they were all soggy and nasty.
But don’t get me wrong; though I have made some
mistakes with cooking potatoes, I absolutely love them. They are so delicious. You can use them to
make anything tastier. I noticed that
potatoes are the first things that my kids eat when they begin to start eating
table food.
I love them because you can do anything with them.
You can mash them, fry them, bake them, sauté them. Anyway you cook them they can be a fabulous
meal. In my family for some reason it is
a meal of comfort
I try to always have a bag of potatoes in my kitchen
in case I need a side dish or forget to buy a bag of French fries at the
store. I keep them around just in case I
decided to make a breakfast scramble on a whim.
