I’ve been rewatching Good Eats and carrots and beets are also happy in cold dirt.

He used playground sand he sifted and heated to 140F/60C and let cool so it’s a bit cleaner. Stashed it in sealed plastic tub in his chill chest.

Also, adding some turnips or rutabagas to your mashed potatoes adds some nice flavor. They take a bit longer to cook but it’s worth it.

Good Eats is so awesome. These are some great suggestions. Now I need some root veggies - I just wish I had the time to do all the cool nerdy shit Alton does. I want to heat sand and store things in it, but damned if I've got the time for that.

One of the things I love about remote work is I can make some of his recipes around meetings

Nice. That's definitely a life goal for me!

My grandfather use to bury potatoes and carrots in a hole covered with plywood. Dig them up in the spring and eat them until the next fall harvest. The would barely start to root towards the end but never rot.

Rotting potatoes might just be the foulest odor on earth. Worse than rotting flesh.

I read once that an entire family in Eastern Europe was wiped out by potato fumes. First the mother descended into the root cellar and was overcome. Then each other member one at a time went looking to see where everyone had gone only to succumb each in turn.

And leave them long enough and they start growing. Hardy things.

Thinking of growing some this year. I know some places say not to use supermarket potatoes but garden centre seed potatoes cost like 10 times as much and are essentially just old potatoes. Also heard they can be treated with stuff to prevent them growing. They are still growing so it clearly didn't work

Just don't store them next to onions. Because dems fight'n words!

Potatoes are just fat roots, not vegetables

Carrots are also roots
