A bit of trivia: There are 4200 varieties of potatoes in Peru. Imagine the possibilities! :)

>>>Up North, in the chippies, we used to get things called "scallops". Unfortunately they weren't shellfish but mashed potato discs, coated in batter (as everything! :-) and deep-fired. I loved them. But you can't get them downs South here.

>>>>Speaking of things made with potatoes, when my brother and I were very young our mom would grate a raw potato and an apple, mix the two and serve it to us. We really enjoyed that!

>>>>Katy and I bought a juicer and I tried using a raw potato and an apple to make juice and it tasted very good. The taste reminded me of what our mother served us.

>>>Not a bit starchy to taste?

>>The apple gives it a nice flavor and yet you can taste the potato ever so slightly, which I enjoy.

>>I have had a few potato dishes mainly based upon Irish, Polish, and German dishes. These include dumplings, pancakes, soups, and salads. My wife being from Peru introduced me to Peruvian dishes such as Papa Rellena, Papa Huancaína , and Causa. There are lots of things you can do with potatoes that are delicious.

>>If all else fails - invent your own dish! Now what do I have in the kitchen? :)
