This is me, cooking

The other day at the TA picnic I had a pretty delicious and decadent dish that Cole called German Potatoes, or something to that effect. He said it's made with potatoes (of course), bacon lard, vinegar, and because he didn't read the jars properly, that dish was made with applesauce. I'm sure some other things went into it.

Since the picnic, I've been craving the apple-potato combination, and wanting it in a way less superficial than simply getting some mashed potatoes and biting into an apple. So, tonight I tried to make a kind of duplication of the dish.

My version is loads healthier, and actually tastes less like a heart attack. It looks like thick mashed potatoes or applesauce, so the explanation might be a bit difficult for your tastebuds. However, the combination is pretty incredible.

A good thing to serve this with would be pork chops, for example. All compatible flavors.
