Chef in the Classroom at The Garrison School: Potatoes! Potatoes! Potatoes!

For the month of October, celebrating National Food Day, the Garrison sixth graders had the opportunity to work with Chef Laurie Gershgorn of Healthy Culinary Creations and made four fabulous dishes using locally grown potatoes.

The class was broken up into four groups:
Group 1 made sweet potato muffins
Group 2 made home fries
Group 3 made potato salad
Group 4 made an "experimental" potato mash

Everyone got to measure, mix, cook and best of all taste their creations.
