Hello, little potatoes, my name is Sandhya Gopalakrishna and I am the writer of this blog – Make Potato. I am a daughter, mother, wife, sister, niece, friend, Bangalorean, vegetarian.
Make Potato – Why am I calling my blog Make Potato?
Well, potatoes are my all-time favourite. Potatoes bring me joy when I cut or cook or eat them. It’s comfort food. I could eat it at any time of any day in any form. Potato, for me, represents comfort food, and at the end of a tired day, nothing is comforting like a bowl of slow-roasted potatoes, rasam and rice… Don’t you agree?
This site is my love letter to food – everything I have learned, cooked, and eaten so far, a keepsake in which I document my journey in the world of food. I am a self-taught home cook. The internet, my fellow food bloggers, and my aunts have been my gurus. I owe it all to them. Since I am self-taught, I have done it all – burnt, over-salted, over-spiced, no salt, overcooked, undercooked, over baked, under-baked, etc… I persevere…
I started this blog to journal every kind of food I eat on a daily basis, the new food/cuisine that I learn, or just to express my love for food. Being brought up in Bangalore, I am used to eating all cuisines from India and Indianized versions of Angle, Italian, American, Chinese, Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines.
Every recipe that you read results from diving deep into the web or asking people too many questions. So, I have tested every recipe that I post at least thrice in my kitchen. Check them out in my Recipe section.
Most of us are not aware of where food comes from, so this blog is my journey in understanding the where, what, when, why, and which of everything that we consume. I am on the path to learning about it and documenting it, too. To view all the recipes documented on this blog, please click here.
If you have anything on your mind about Make Potato, leave me a note or say hi to me on social media for any requests or comments. You can follow me on my social media on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and I would be indebted to you if you subscribe to my Youtube Channel.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
