Spud in the box 



This seems like a mundane recipe but sometimes its something as simple as a spud can make you smile. This recipe is not a fancy one didn't need any thinking because Ive been eating potatoes like this all my life. But when you think about it we're all a little spud in the box . A Little bit routine in our ways , a little rough around the edges covered in dirt and sometimes we sprout unworthy habits that just eat at us. Sometimes its good to be a spud in the box whilst in this case, its best to break free.

My aunt makes em like this and so does my mom. This is my version its more like comfort food more than anything else one primary reason being that cooking with the skin on is more nutritious and a sign a of a lazy Chef .
On the other hand only the smart ones know that half of the vitamin C comes form the skin. 
The recipe for butter garlic potatoes is simple quarter your medium size potatoes and put them into a cooker with a cup of water, put on for a single whistle. cooking it in a cooker maintains and intensifies the sweetness of the potato and eliminates its starchy taste. It also keeps them moist longer. melt a knob of butter and throw in some chopped garlic , brown the potatoes in the pan evenly and finish with some coriander chopped fresh.


Some times it simple as it seems
