Back in June, we planted potatoes in some regular 2 gallon pots at the preschool. These weren't seed potatoes, just potatoes from my pantry that had started to grow eyes. Although it is not recommended to use regular potatoes from the grocery store, my philosophy has always been that if they were growing in my pantry, that they would certainly grow in the garden!

| Washing the potatoes |
First we placed the pots on a small table so my tiny friends could see what they were doing. We then dug until we found potatoes. Because they were grown in fairly small pots, most of the potatoes were fairly small. After the potatoes were dug out of the pots, they went to the orange washing station to be cleaned.

| YUMMY! |
We got the potatoes inside and gave them an additional wash. The larger ones were cut into bit sized pieces and the smaller ones were left whole. We steamed them with some season salt and pepper and served them with lunch. The kids loved them!! We will most definitely be growing potatoes again.
