  2. These look so amazing. I just love potatoes, not one of those gals afraid of carbs or taters. I really want to try out that dip. That’s a cool idea for the wedges, something a little different than our usual ketchup or sriracha.

    It was really nice to meet you the other day on G+, albeit virtually. You gave such great advice.
