Potatoes: delicious and nutritious

2 May 2017

It was a happy constellation. I’d heard The Food Programme on potatoes a couple of days before, and the lemon roasted potatoes sounded good. I’d just bought some salmon steaks for dinner. And there in the greengrocer was a pile of beautiful red-skinned new, but large, potatoes. No need to search out unwaxed lemons either, because all their lemons are unwaxed. Fiddly to put together, but easy to eat.

Also, a chance to do a reminder link to Carol Deppe talking about how really nutritious potatoes are.

P.s. Pity publicity-hungry Chris Voigt couldn’t be bothered to maintain the website for his 60-day, 20 potatoes-a-day marathon.
