Here, I take what I can get. Husband can't eat potato (other than sweet potato, due to a low glycemic diet he must follow).<br /><br />I haven't tried "smashed" potato - sounds interesting. <br /><br />One cooking method I haven't tasted for many a year is what in Britain is called Roast Potato (as against Baked potato - baked in its skin).<br />Roast potatoes were peeled, cut in half or quarters depending on size, and roasted in the oven with a joint of meat (usually for Sunday lunch)- not put in the oven at the outset of course, but partway through the beef/lamb roasting time. This method added a different texture and flavour from any other cooking method - potatoes done this way were also good as cold leftovers to nibble on.<br /><br />Potatoes and Moon eh? Wonder how they came to that conclusion. As they grow underground you'd expect them to be more Plutonian. :-) <br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.com
