These are Yukon Gold potatoes I harvested from my garden today. I have never had much success with growing potatoes, but this year I tried something a little different.
My old neighbor used to just lay his potatoes on the ground and then cover them with 6 inches of straw. He said that when the plant tops die, just uncover the straw and you have a ton of potatoes.
I thought I would try it, and I think if it had not been so wet, I would have had a great crop.
I will do this again next year.
By the way, these tasted awesome. I simply heated my pan, melted some butter, and fried these potatoes. Then I covered the potatoes with the onions until they are tender, then added some green beans.
Emily was not feeling well today, she had a fever and so the doctor says she had a virus. We ended up with Emily not feeling well, Laura had a headache, and Amy said her throat was hurting.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
