I love potatoes with all my heart. I think I got it from my late father – my parents had a small farm where we grew all our own vegetables, including a huge amount of potatoes that we then stored for the rest of the year. Dad enjoyed all kinds of potato dishes. He was a little old-fashioned when it comes to taste, I think! Whenever Mom made a “modern” pasta dish, she knew Dad wouldn’t be a fan and made him a dish with potatoes, too. That’s what you call love…
So, we obviously had plenty of potato meals when I was a kid and at some point I did get a little tired of them. When I moved in with my husband there was a period of time when I tried to avoid potatoes like crazy. I thought I’d had enough of them for the rest of my life.
But when I finally realized how many great recipes there are for all kinds of potato dishes we never had back home, it opened up a whole new world for me. I’ve been cooking potatoes several times a week ever since, and I don’t think I can ever get bored of them again!
