A life without potatoes

[lefty goldblatt]

Any more "gags" like that, and you're toast.

Done to a crisp

having spent considerable time in north africa, where severe stomach problems (i.e. the squits and the vomits) caused by the combination of lack of food hygiene and hot weather are prevalent and can overwhelmingly devastate you, without the humble potato many folk would be dead...
the local cure is boiled potato, boiled egg, cumin powder, salt and olive oil, all mashed up together in their version of an ovenbottom muffin = your tummy settles within the hour, guaranteed.
try it next time you're tummy is on the run, you'll see.
(the key is lots of cumin powder)

Do you fry that off, or bake in the oven ?

I substitute cauliflower mash for mashed potatoes and roasted root veg (celeriac, carrots, parsnips) for chips.

You dirty bastard.

Mods meet-ups clearly aren't what they were in my day.

Not sure if I’m being mistaken for a mod here.

Best potato for chips is the (Idaho) Russet. Fried in Rapeseed Oil (Canola Oil- Crisp n Dry in thr UK) or Peanut oil.
Unfortunately, McDonalds seems to have some hold/monopoly over them in the UK.

I seldom eat ‘potato’ so I largely live that life.
