Freddie’s Honey Bee Potatoes

Why we loved it:

We had heard of honey roasted carrots, but never honey roasted potatoes, but why not!

We liked how even though Freddie didn’t like potatoes at first, he was bold enough to try something new and now he loves potatoes! This goes to show that just because we don’t like something the first time we try it, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try it again in the future, maybe cooked a different way. Sometimes we can surprise ourselves!
