You know what’s great? Other than the fact that I’m writing this while in a pool in Bali after having had a blessing from a Balinese priest- look! There’s a frangipani floating by!
The other great thing is that Holley made these amazing Rosemary Potato Pancakes from freshly home-grown spuds!
Home-Grown Potatoes
This is apparently extra important because potatoes absorb a lot of things from the soil. Like pesticides. So home-grown potatoes can be a lot cleaner.
Looks like organic spuds are the way to go.
Potatoes. Is there anything less impressive to look at than a raw potato? So how is it that it is so good cooked in nearly any way? It boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
I grew up in a family who grew their own potatoes in the summer, dug them up in the fall, and stored them in the cool room in the basement over the winter.
This is the first time since graduating high school that I’ve been involved in growing potatoes. And it was Holley’s first time growing them.
Looks like organic spuds are the way to go.
Rosemary Potato Pancakes
I can’t get enough of these Rosemary Potato Pancakes. They are everything that my mouth wants: salty, crispy, and a great vehicle for sauce. *drool* Balinese sambal?
