Folks, there are a lot of vegetables that gets passed over by us. This can be due to the fact that most folks don’t know how to cook it, or they find it strange looking and generally do not approach it. It might be strange coming from a guy who edits a website primarily devoted to the love of meat, this guy would like to welcome you all to root vegetables.
Yukon gold potatoes and delicious, and awesome. We all love them. However, I do find that together if we practice a little adventure you will see that with the addition of butter, salt, and pepper and we will find some good eats.

Garnish with chopped chives or green onion and of course…crumbled bacon! 🙂 Also use this as a topping for Shepard pie instead of mashed potato. Nom nom nom 😋
