Originally cultivated in South America, brought back to Ireland and other European countries by early explorers, then across to North America, potatoes have a long history of nourishing people. They also store well, which makes them available year-round at the co-op, even some local varieties.
Potatoes are a very versatile food. They appear several times a week at our table: baked, mashed, hash browns, au gratin, roasted, and more. But one of my favorite ways to prepare them is potato curry.
Curries bring to mind India and, to many, spicy foods. But not all curries are spicy.
