Karen Adler @karenadler62 Tony Rino @pastayoyo When there’s no time for homemade, there’s Getta Pizza right around the corner. A Calgary pizza classic: Greco Pizza. Veggie. Delicious. Is there a food that offers more possibilities than the potato? Once you’ve selected from its many varieties — from Russet and red to yellow and Yukon Gold — there are still so many ways to prepare them. For all its versatility, this week we want you to keep your eyes peeled and share your favourite way to eat potatoes. Whether you’re snacking on chips, poutine or dumplings; going with a side of potato salad, scalloped or sweet potato fries; or having gnocchi, casserole or soup for supper, show us the potato dish that says this spud’s for you.

Carrie Soby @csoby Mozzarella, tomatoes, chili flakes, and gluten is all I need Erica Wiebe @eweebz My first pizza at the Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company Angela Kurysh @kitty434 Arugula and prosciutto ’za Joanne Metz @quicherbitchen An amazing brick-oven baked pie in Cancun at Padrino’s Angela Santiago and her father started the Little Potato Company in Alberta in 1996. They’ve come a long way from the one-acre plot just outside of Edmonton, now growing nearly 700 acres of potatoes across the province. “Potatoes are a great, healthy vegetable,” says Angela. “Small potatoes are even better because you eat them with the skin on and a lot of the nutrients are found in the skin of the potato.” She says she enjoys the creamy, buttery taste of the small potato. “I love them on the barbecue, roasted with the crispy skin. Also as leftovers, sliced and pan-fried.” If there is one thing Angela thinks you need to keep in mind regarding potatoes, it’s the diverse nature of the spud. “Bring back the diversity of potatoes,” she recommends. “The next time you’re in a grocery store and you see a blue potato or a fingerling, give it a try!” If you’re enjoying local ingredients in your #gastropost this week, make sure to include the #tasteab tag for an extra chance to be in the paper!
