Nothing goes to waste in my home. I'm always thinking of ways to use my leftovers. I had some leftover mashed potatoes from dinner the other night. I think for most people potato is a favorite. I love potatoes. They are affordable. Low calories, full of nutrition and can be prepared in variety of ways.
Have you ever wonder why your potatoes turn green? They turn green because exposure to light... not good eats. Potatoes should be kept in a dark cool well ventilated place.
Potatoes and onions are great friends in any dish, but they should never be stored together. They both will spoil faster.
