What's that stuff on my potatoes?
The new red potatoes in your share have a bad case of scab. We harvested them early because of this. Scab is a superficial fungus that affects the surface of the potatoes. Certain varieties are more susceptible, thus we will not be growing these Red Norlands next year. You can peel the worst part off or just scrape it off when you wash them because the skin is so flaky with the new potatoes. It does not affect the flavor at all. We thought we would let you know though, so that you are not left wondering.

New Potato Salad with Bacon, Shell Peas and Dill
We tried this this pastweekend and it was wonderful with the flavor of new potatoes. Wash and quarter the bigger potatoes--some you will not need to cut at all. Stem them in a pot until tender. While the potatoes are steaming, shell the peas and cook four slices of bacon.
Add potatoes, peas, bacon to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of mayo and 1 tbls. of mustard and dill (more to taste if you like). Mix it well and add salt and pepper to taste.

What is the huge beautiful leafy green in your share this week? Chard!
Chard is a great side dish to lamb chops, elk steaks and other strong red meats- or any other Italian meal. I have pasted a recipe below from Epicurious that calls for both chard and leeks (both of which you have in your share this week.)
