Description
My love for potatoes is a lot . My favourite vegetable is potato . Remember as a kid in boarding school we were served all kinds of vegetables including a lot of potatoes too . We did have a vegetable garden in the back yard of our school . There were cabbages,carrots ,cauliflowers,potatoes , strawberries , plum trees , apple trees …. Can remember only this much .The vegetable garden was fenced but any chance we get myself and my friends Sindhu Krishna and gazeena sulu kunahmed would sneak in and rob what ever we could . When we get potatoes . We used to run to the boiler room where they had fire wood burning always . Trow the potatoes into the fire wait for a few minutes and remove and peel and eat the hot potatoes . It was great fun .
