Large potatoes are usually used for making fries, cut into chunks for soup, or made into mashed potatoes. Those are the main ways to prepare them.
Every time they dug up the soil beneath a potato plant, they would unearth a dense cluster of potatoes.
The bamboo basket, already more than half full of chili peppers, was completely filled in just a few minutes, yet they had harvested less than a quarter of the potato patch.
"Just these potatoes alone will be enough to feed us for half a month, right?"
"That's right." Andre nodded in agreement. "If we're careful with them, they'll last a month."
Erica raised her hand. "I don't eat much. They'll last me at least three weeks."
The growth cycle of a potato is between two and four months. This meant the remaining potatoes were enough for three more trips. Figuring on half a month's worth of food per trip, that added up to two months in total.
By then, new, smaller potatoes would have surely grown to maturity.
