Tips and Trivia on the Potato
Trivia
The definition of the 'Potato' - also know as white potato, Irish potato, murphy, spud, tater -an edible tuber native to South America; a staple food of Ireland. In about the year 1570, the first potato made its way across the Atlantic to make a start on the continent of Europe. It was one of the three major crops including tomatoes and corn that was introduced to Europe. It took thirty years for the potato to become popular throughout the rest of Europe. Resistance was due to population's eating habits, the tuber was considered a poor man's food. Unlike any other major crop, potatoes contain most of the vitamins needed for sustenance. Our personal favorite recipe we often enjoy is Roasted Potatoes with Onions and Carrots. Clean Potatoes, Onions, and Carrots; cut all into wedges-- place in roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Prepare at desired ratio mix of potatoes/onions/carrots. Roast at 350F Degrees in center of oven uncovered for 45min-1hour. Tossing after 30 minutes. Serve warm. Yummy!

Tips
Best way to make mashed potatoes - to prevent "gluey" potatoes never boil, simmer, just enough water to cover potatoes. After straining place cooked potatoes back into pot- adding 1/4 cup milk and small amount of butter, using potato masher or beat on low speed with electric mixer until potatoes are just 'mashed'.
