I love the versatility of potatoes.
OMG, I love potatoes. These Goldust potatoes look so delicious. My grandmother used to make boiled gold potatoes and she would place the potato on your plate so you could mash it with your fork, then place butter, salt and pepper on it to your liking. That was such a simple way to eat potatoes but they were tastier than eating a mashed, whipped potato.
I miss grandma, but I make her gold boiled potatoes often and would love to try the Goldust.
these potatoes look yummy!
