This is a photo of a coaster that I received as a Christmas gift this year. I immediately began thinking of all the possible uses for the humble potato.
We all know potatoes are turned into North American’s most beloved foods: fries and chips! We also know potatoes can be mashed, baked and boiled; they can be steamed, fried and turned into a salad; they can be cooked on the BBQ and on the campfire. But this coaster hints towards all the other uses of this most versatile vegetable.
Potatoes can be used to make vodka, create original craft stamps and generate power. You can use potatoes to reduce fogging on your glasses, remove rust from your household and garden tools and clean silverware. Potatoes are used in first aid to soothe burns, in beauty to help get rid of dark circles under your eyes and in personal hygiene when they are turned into soap.
So what are you waiting for?! Grab a bag of spuds from your local grocery store and start investigating the wonders of the potato. If you would like to see more fun and interesting facts about potatoes you can visit “Spud Smarts – About Potatoes.”
