Dinner for the whole TEAM???

My grandparents lived near Stockton, CA. I remember driving near the farms and seeing roadside stands of fresh fruit and vegetables for sale. One year I bought a big bag of potatoes. They were the size of small cantaloupes!

For a couple on a tight budget, those potatoes were the best ever!
