Potatoes are the classic at lunchtime. If you have a little space in the garden, you can also grow them yourself without much effort.
I love pasta and rice, but potatoes are undoubtedly the best accompaniment to some dishes. For an even more intense taste, you can simply grow your own potatoes today. The video from "News from the Landei" shows that a rich potato harvest does not necessarily require a lot of space. That makes the implementation a lot easier, doesn't it?
The video contribution with a length of a good 11 minutes contains a lot of interesting facts about the preparation of the soil, the right time, the different varieties, the cultivation itself, as well as helpful tips for harvesting. You'll even be shown how easy it is to plant potatoes in a tub.
Anyone who has been toying with the idea of not buying their potatoes from the supermarket but getting them from their own garden should definitely watch the video.
My potato recommendation
Last year we also grew potatoes for the first time and achieved excellent results with the "Linda" variety. A classic that you can't go wrong with. I had ordered this variety from the Pötschke shop.
Did you know?
Many people think that potatoes have a lot of carbohydrates and make you fat. Not correct! Although it contains plenty of starch, it also contains many he althy minerals and vitamins. The fattening actually only comes from the wrong preparation. Unlike many years ago, potatoes are eaten with a lot of greasy or floury sauces or fried. That makes you fat.
By the way: You can tell good potatoes by the fact that no water escapes when you press on a raw, cut part. In addition, the two halves of a raw, cut potato must stick together when rubbed together. At best, a little foam forms at the edge of the two halves.
