Mcamp...
Glad you discovered them! :thumbs:
They're extremely versatile - from roasting them whole (a little olive oil, maldon salt and cracked white pepper) to puree (with shallots, a little wine, some veg stock and finish with cream) to a lovely velvety soup (similar to the puree, just add more stock, split a vanilla pod for a touch of variety, a good dose of double cream and seasoning)..
If you take the smallest ones and slice them 'in the round', very thinly then you can make crisps which are simply heaven! Dry them on some absorbent paper, season with a little salt and use those to snack on... very yum indeed!
Though they aren't cheap like potatoes... but oh so worth the effort of preparation!
