Potatoes! <\/p>\n

\"scone\"<\/p>\n

My family loves them and I buy them a lot. The best way to store them has always been a bit of a mystery to me, though…I’ve never been sure whether or not you are supposed to keep them in the refrigerator. <\/p>\n

I’m really learning a lot since I started doing these monthly posts in conjunction with Glad<\/a>. According to the food storage experts over there, potatoes should not be kept in the refrigerator. And once they’ve been peeled and\/or cut, they should be placed into a large bowl and fully submerged in water, then covered with plastic wrap, like Glad ClingWrap, or perhaps a tea towel. (To learn more about the best ways to prep and store your foods, see Glad’s Protection Pointers<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Prepping and protecting potatoes means they’ll stay fresher longer. This is good news, because it means less chance of food waste! And now that your potatoes are going to last longer, you can enjoy them in many different ways: bake them, dice and pan-fry them, roast them, mash them. You get the picture…you can do so much with potatoes.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things to do with potatoes lately is to use them in this easy and delicious Shepherd’s Pie Recipe. <\/p>\n

\"mashed
\n\"peas
\n\"beef
\n\"shepherd's<\/p>\n

Shepherd’s Pie may be one of those classic, basic recipes that everyone already knows how to make…but maybe not? You see, somehow I got to be 43 years old I had never made Shepherd’s Pie before a few months ago, when I happened on this recipe from Simply Recipes<\/a>. Just FYI: true Shepherd’s Pie is made with lamb (or mutton), while Cottage Pie is made with beef. So technically this recipe is for a Cottage Pie when made with beef…but, use ground lamb and it’s a Shepherd’s Pie. <\/p>\n

\"shepherd's<\/p>\n

Got it? Ok, here’s the recipe.<\/p>\n
