SnackShots #1: Potato

This Post was written by Michelle from Greedy Gourmet

A brand new food blog photo event for a brand new year. The theme this month is the humble Potato.

Can you prepare fabulous french fries or make the world’s greatest gratin? How do you like your potato? Baked, roasted, sautéed, fried, steamed, boiled? What’s your favourite potato dish? Aloo gobi, Bubble and Squeak, Moussaka or Shepherd’s Pie?

Your photo doesn’t need to be of a recipe you made; it can be abstract too. Maybe you went to your local farmer’s market and couldn’t resist taking a photo of a mountain of freshly dug up tubers. Maybe you planted your own and want to show off your harvest. Have you come across those funny looking purple potatoes? The possibilities are endless.

Write about your unpretentious potato dish or experience if it takes your fancy.

Give it your best shot!

What Must I Do?

Take a photo of anything potato.

Pictures should be no more than 400px in length or width.

Only one photo per person or blog is allowed.
