When we came to visit, Grandma had to double the recipe for these tender potatoes.

We could smell these potatoes roasting as soon as we walked in Grandma’s front door.

Grandma had dozens of ways to prepare potatoes. This was one of her best.

Once Grandma got a blender, she used it for everything, including grating potatoes.

It was hard to think of sweet potatoes as vegetables when we ate these.

Grandpa joked that Southerners locked their cars to keep people from leaving bags of zucchini in them.

As a small child, I enjoyed eating these dumplings with my fingers.

Grandma’s roasted potatoes were the best accompaniment to her roast beef.

I liked to watch Grandma shred the potatoes on her grater. She was quick!

When I turned 10, Grandma said I was old enough to help scoop out the potatoes.
