Favorite Potato Recipe or Potato Hack:
Jason Hull is one of many operators who have taken to growing potatoes at their own school. He grows potatoes in chicken wire towers with hay and soil to produce a variety of delicious potato types. Jason creates delicious school-friendly dishes that feature potatoes, too!
“We keep it fresh and simple. You can use pretty much any kind of potato. I prefer fingerlings or a mix of red and golden. Wash and cut potatoes into chunks. Toss in olive oil, garlic, rosemary and salt and pepper all to taste. Roast in a 375 degree oven. We like to use our wood fired outdoor oven until they have some color and cooked through.”
