My love affair with potatoes began when I was very young. Living four doors down to my grandparents on our reservation, I spent more time there than at home. They ate potatoes every single day. My grandpa still does, I am sure. When I think about my childhood, and growing up on our reservation, home feels comfortable and smells like boiled or fried potatoes. I still get that great feeling when I smell potatoes cooking.
So when I think about my childhood, my home here on my reservation, and food – I cannot help but think about potatoes.
This time of year, my grandfather buys a huge box of potatoes, which he keeps out on his back porch, to eat for the entire winter. So the fall season really reminds me of potatoes.
What do you think of when you think about home, fall, food and family?
The Comforts from Home Project from Marie Callender’s is bringing the comforts of home to those who protect America’s homes every day: the brave men and women of the U.S. military. Marie’s is teaming up with the USO to support USO Operation Celebration™, a program that shares a bit of home with our troops and helps them celebrate the holidays year round.
