We have a lot of potatoes left from our harvest – about 50 pounds. They grew so abundantly that we are going to be eating them for a while and we make a lot of different things to ease the boredom of plain ol’ taters.
A few weeks ago I made a great potato soup that’s really thick and cheesy and today Dan made some that is a little different and even better. Soupy, cheesy, warm and topped with bacon – and it’s my opinion that bacon just makes everything better!
Since learning that ZipList is going away, this is also the first post using a new plugin and I’ll be giving it a go for a while, but I do love ZipList and I am really going to miss it.
