That's right, kids, it's potato time. First harvest of 2011 (other than some collard greens here and there), which is pretty exciting. I am clearly outfitted for the occasion.
Back in November, Jenn was on hand for potato planting--three different kinds and it's time to harvest the first. Turns out to be this awesome purple German heirloom that Patt gave me!
Head over heels.
That's the stuff!
They look red in the picture, but the color is more a magenta-purple. Not sure yet if flesh is creamy or purple as well. Only one way to be sure...
Breakfast for dinner, anyone? I'm suddenly in the mood for a frittata with cheddar and leek, and of course, these gorgeous potatoes.
Or maybe I'll have one fitted to a cocktail ring and wear it while sipping gibsons in my foyer.
Nah. Frittata it is.
YUM! i totally need a new potato planting method this year. yours seems to have worked out great!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures--so colorful. I was really hoping to see the new ring, but guess that will have to wait.
ReplyDeleteActually, scratch the frittata. Ended up roasting them with olive oil and rosemary, and eating with a fried egg on top. YUM!
