Our winter CSA gave us SO many potatoes this winter. All sorts of varieties and colors, too. I’m not sure why, but potatoes are never top of mind when I’m meal planning.

They are P.E. & D.D. Seafood from eastern Long Island. We don’t eat a lot of fish (or meat) at home, but we made a point to finally try theirs. For bonus points we found a recipe that uses bacon!
