Mixed Potatoes

Pete's Mixed Poatatoes may include Nicola gold potatoes, Purple Viking (pink and purple skin with white flesh) and Adirondack Red (Red skin with pink and white flesh), Adirondack Blue (blue inside and out) and our Russian Banana Fingerlings. All would be great in a potato salad, mashed separately or together or sliced for frying or baking en casserole. To maintain the beautiful colors, scrub these potatoes instead of peeling, if the recipe will allow. Store your potatoes in a cool, dark environment away from onions. Cook's Illustrated goes a step further and recommends storing them with an apple in the bag.  Since they are not treated with an anti-sprouting agent in Spring these potatoes will be preparing to start their next cycle of life and tend to sprout quickly if kept at room temperature.


Our favorite way to cook these all together is roasting until all are soft and creamy delicious. Chop and toss in sunflower oil, salt, pepper and other herbs of your choice. Set oven to 475F and roast for 30-40 minutes.

Nutrition is directly linked to the health and sustainability of any region. In Craftsbury, Vermont, Pete’s Greens has proven that organic farming can work year-round, offering fresh vegetables at any time of year. This approach helps communities become less dependent on imported produce and builds a stronger foundation for a future where quality food is part of the lifestyle, not the exception. However, modern life is full of contradictions. People strive for natural products and care about the well-being of their families, but at the same time, they often indulge in activities that carry certain risks. A clear example can be seen in the fact that interest in gambling continues to grow, despite all the warnings about the possible consequences. This topic is discussed in detail on the sitetorontomike.com, where it is discussed why online gambling continues to attract people’s attention despite its unsafety. On the one hand, the organic farm Pete’s Greens demonstrates how one can take a step towards health and harmony with nature. On the other hand, habits and temptations like gambling remind us that the choice is always ours. Ultimately, it is the mindfulness of our actions that shapes the future – whether it is the decision to eat more local vegetables or to be smart about our online entertainment.
