I've recently gotten into making fruit smoothies, largely by the let's-toss-these-fruits-in-the-blender-and-see-what-happens type of method. The results, I'm pleased to say, have been rather good. Now, my partner has enjoyed them even more than I have, on account of her not having to do anything to get a freshly prepared smoothie in front of her. Earlier today, while shopping, she came to me with a rather large bag of potatoes and declared them "very good for making smoothies". On her part, this was a joke -- but I've gotten it into my head to take her seriously and try to make a potato smoothie. But there's a problem. I have no idea how to make one work. The closest things I've managed to find online are a sweet potato smoothie base at http://www.vegetarianbaby.com/recipes/sweetpotatosmoothiebase.shtml and an obscure reference near the bottom of this page at a Norwegian site http://www.narinytt.no/index.php?iid=8&RecID=8&type=l (search for "potato" on the page). I've got a gut feeling that making it savoury instead of sweet is the first step in making it edible; a kind of vaguely currylike taste might fit. I also have no problems tossing in any other fruits or vegetables, as long as there's at least some potato in there somewhere. Oh, and I've got 1.5 kg of potatoes to play around with. So, anyone have any ideas? eemeli ps. I haven't told her any of this yet, of course...
