New Potatoes by maggiemae

New Potatoes

These are 'red kings" and have the most delectable taste! Just out of the garden. I picked some mint to go with them and found a little green insect scrabbling around on the leaf! I took its photo and then squashed it - it was making mint holes!

Three good things:
1. I do not have a Xmas tree.
2. I do not want a Xmas tree dropping pine needles all over the floor and getting tangled up in lights that won't work from last year!
3. My decorations are in my mind and not on my shelves! (Not that I have a tidy mind!)
Beautiful image, Maggie Mae. I love the delicate tones and composition. I'm with you on your 3 things -- my mind's not too tidy either. I hung a wreath on my porch today and said, "That's it!"

They look delicious! Sans the bug!!! Nice to have your own potatoes! Do you serve them with butter and or sour cream?

@catwoman2 I don't have a wreath so I can't even do this! Thanks, Mary!

They look good and right out of the garden- wow! I love having a tree for Christmas but haven't had one in many years as we are not usually home. The grands are coming after Christmas so, might not have one this year either.

Are they as good as they look?

Very festive dish of potatoes....I would be smothering them in butter!
December 14th, 2013

They look great! My mom always adds mint from her garden to potatoes!

Mmmmm.....I'm an Idaho girl, so potatoes are my favorite! However, I've never had them with mint before. I'm intrigued.

These looks very yummy. I have a Christmas tree but it is very small and "neat and tidy".
December 14th, 2013  
These look great and even more important, they are from your garden -- wow!! So cool.

@smellychelli I know about Idaho and potatoes - almost like the Irish! Mint is so good with new potatoes!
December 14th, 2013  
@taffy Its one of those things you finally get right after years and years - planting at the right time!
December 14th, 2013  
Oh yum - nice fresh potatoes with a sprig of mint - brings back childhood memories!
December 14th, 2013  
Ooh !! how lovely -- they do look delicious --especially that we are not in the season for new potatoes & home grown are always more tasty
December 14th, 2013

I love your picture and your three good things. I stopped doing the three this month and find myself gloomier. I think next year I'll kick them in again.
December 14th, 2013  
Mouth watering!
December 14th, 2013  
@pandorasecho it takes a bit of thought, Dixie but the very act of identifying them makes you feel good!
December 14th, 2013  
beautiful image and they look lovely to eat with the Butter on them
December 14th, 2013  
Well I'd like to point out that you have tinsel!
December 14th, 2013  
@judithg yes, Judith, I thought some small effort would be worthwhile and it is because you remarked on it! Thank you!
December 14th, 2013  
Little beauties, well done you, lovely eating your own produce.
December 14th, 2013  
They are lovely little potatoes. Had to laugh at your 3 things. I've cheated the last 8 years. Have a pre-lit artificial tree and I always get a Yankee Candle diffuser with balsam scent. No mess, no fuss, no problem.....LOL!
December 14th, 2013  
Great shot. I laughed at your 3 things too. I am the only one in my household who puts up the tree. I said that I was not going to s pend my time putting up a tree this year, so we have a small ceramic tree instead.
December 15th, 2013  
I love your 3 Good Things, Maggie - and am in full agreement! :)
December 15th, 2013  
Nice pov on this. At least you've added some tinsel to the potato dish!
December 15th, 2013  
Haha :o) Christmassy potatoes, love it :o) xx
December 15th, 2013  
Nice, and they sound good. Tis the season
December 15th, 2013  
Love the tinsel round the plate, these look delicious! And all the better for being homegrown.....
December 15th, 2013

December 16th, 2013

Must be so nice to get potatoes from your garden!!! Lucky you. "I can't imagine NOT having a Christmas tree", says the lady who put up 4 and 1 mini tree!!!
