Potato Harvest

I had a potato that was starting to sprout months ago so I decided to plant it in the watermelon garden. For some reason, I did not plant watermelons this year. Well, some watermelon seeds were planted and have maybe 4 plants growing but they have not established vines. So no fruit this season.

One potato plant died on the surface so I dug up the plant and the picture above is what I harvested. The smaller potatoes I gave to my mother to use with cooked green beans. The larger ones I thin sliced and baked with a light coating of virgin olive oil, potassium salt, and ground pepper. Left in the oven at 450 degrees F until they started to turn a light brown. Yum!

Still have two more plants to dig up.
