[EVENT] : U.S. POTATO FEST CULINARY CHALLENGE
December 19, 2015 Potatoes are just one of the common food for me until I discover more about potatoes in the U.S. Potato Fest organized by U.S. Potato Board at KDU University College, Utropolis Glenmarie. I love to eat french fries, wedges, and mashed potatoes but I never know that potatoes actually contains so many vitamins and minerals that are good for our body.

Although we did not win any title in this competition but both of us enjoyed the fun cooking session with all the bloggers. We also gained some new knowledge about potatoes after the event and some tips on how to prepare a potato meal!
Happy us with our potato dishes. |
