Potatoes

Also with the little tiny ones can I get these to re-sprout and plant them or do they need to be bigger?

Potatoes are the worst thing to grow at home.
Try beets and brassicas for the winter

Light a fire, wait until it burns down and you get some nice coals going, wrap potato in foil and put it in the coals. Leave it in there up to about an hour, eat it with a knob of butter and salt and pepper.

I didn't know potatoes weren't a good option. My uncle gave me some chitted potatoes so I just planted them.

I'll look into beets though thanks!

Sounds yummy. I live in a flat so no fire sadly but I could do something similar.

Good potatoes are dirt cheap but it Takes too much effort to harvest them. Unless you grow them in sawdust buckets!

I just had a bag I grew them in and then tipped the contents out over a big sieve. But I want to try other stuff!

used to do that as a kid when we have an open fire place

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Since you're wanting to keep it simple, I would roast those in the oven, then serve them drowning in real butter with a pinch of salt. That should give you damn near pure potato goodness.

I would say they are a bad option simply because they can be had year round in the supermarket for as little as 20 cents a pound. Plus you get the important benefit of choosing consistent size and shape, that matters in most potato dishes. You will have trouble cooking those random sizes together. Focus on growing things that may cost more or really needs same day freshness. Having a spice garden is most important.
