New twist on tradition

Irish mashed potatoes. 
Add an apple to the pot. 
As you are peeling the potatoes peel (and core) an apple and add it to the pot.


Lemon Rice
Add a tea bag or two of lemon tea to the water.
Boil the water and remove the tea bag before you add the rice.

Also, you can use diluted apple juice for rice water.
The rice will be sweet and can be used for desert if you desire. Add raisins or other dried fruit.
