Than potatoes! You can mash them, whip them, bake them, and boil them. They are all sizes and shapes with a variety of textures suitable for all occasions. I don't know if it's because I'm part Irish, but I just LOVE potatoes.
These versatile tubers are more than just a perfect side dish. This vitamin and mineral packed package has so many other uses.
Place a slice of peeled, fresh potato on your tied eyes to help sooth and cool them.
A slice can also be used to help relieve redness and pain from burns.
Save the watery juice from boiled or mashed potatoes! Drinking it is said to help with stomach problems.
Vodka can be made from potatoes!
I love this tidbit - after you've boiled your potatoes and removed them from the pot, throw in your silver! Potato water is said to help remove tarnish and brighten silver.
And, there's always the potato stamp! Just cut a potato in half, carve a pattern into one side. Pull out the ink and start stamping.
