Lemon Ginger Potatoes

Potato, Patato! You say one way, I say another!

I love using staple foods and finding creative ways to cook them.

This is not spicy but does have kick to it. 

Super yum- after serving us and our guests, I put some aside, and in all honestly, finished it off. This was our side dish, and our friends brought Lentil Loaf and Salad. I may have to have Alyson guest blog that Lentil Loaf because it rocked and the salad has basil in it which complemented the Lemon Ginger Potatoes hands down! What a great dinner!

Including all the knock knock jokes my kids decided to make and that was followed by a game called Sequence, which we had never played before! It was fun, and we had teams, naturally divided by gender, and the girls and boys tied! 

Ingredients:

6 potatoes

2 cups water

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp salt
