Happy Potato Month: SOUTH AMERICAN POTATO DISHES!
Sofrito Lovers,
September isn't just National Chicken Month; it's also National Potato Month, and what type of foodie would I be if I ignored the impact this amazing tuber has had on the world?
I am a potato head (not the toy, silly) who thoroughly enjoys the myriad potato-based dishes from around the world. So I feel obliged to declare this week Sofrito Potato Week (I have no creativity whatsoever) and will be sharing all the spud-based recipes and informative articles I can.
Did you know that potatoes were the first vegetables grown in space? Were you aware that the Irish potato famine gave rise to the field of plant pathology? Fascinating, huh? You'll learn more about this underground-growing wonder all this week. I swear, it's more exciting than it sounds!
Take a look at the article below from tasteatlas.com and enjoy these South American potato recipes, some of which are thousands of years old. Did you know that potatoes are originally from South America?
Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!
