Taters!

I am a potato nut. I love potatoes. I love them boiled, mashed, crispy, stewed... you name it. From time to time I found glorious potato chips with yummy flavours -- usually kettle-cooked. I love kettle-cooked vegetables (and popcorn!) I've even eaten potatoes raw! YUM! (Oh yeah, dipped in yoghurt with wasabi.... oh good lorrrrrrrrrrd those are good....)

My two favourite brands from the states are Tim's Cascade Potato Chips and Kettle Chips. (I sneak in some salt and vinegar pringles every now and then too...)
I haven't had them in a very long time, which makes me sad. Booohooo! But! Knowing that I have an odd taste in food (cajun sushi anyone? potato chips inside my black-bean burger?) -- I decided to re-create some of my favourite chip flavours in my weekly dosage of mashed potatoes. Mmmmmmm......

My Current Mashed Potato Flavour Favourites:

• Fleur de Sel and Vinegar
• Cheddar and Beer (Ohhhhh yeah.... sharp cheddar and a GOOD beer.... DROOL)
  
• Dill Pickle
• Dill and Cucumber
• Yoghurt and Leek
• Wasabi (Nothing like eating BRIGHT NEON GREEN mashed potatoes)
  
• Raita (Yoghurt, Cardamom, Cucumber, Red Capsicum, Tomato, hint of garlic)
  
• Adobo (Oh man... alder-smoked jalapenos FTW!)
  
• Taco Sauce and Balsamic Vinegar
• Tandoori Curry
• Basil, Tomato, Mozzarella
• Sushi Vinegar
• Avocado and Smoked Almonds
  

And yes... I've discovered the joy that is using mashed potatoes with sushi vinegar inside of my sushi rolls. Oh man... mix the mashed potatoes with the seasoned sushi vinegar... spread it out onto nori.... put my cucumbers, celery, daikon, and wasabi inside... roll.... slice......... ohhhhh yeah. fusion sushi.

I think I should start posting recipes for my concoctions. I mean, who WOULDN'T like my fusion cooking?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

TATERS!
