potatos aren't period.

I know this was said in gest.... but someone on the Meridiean list made me
aware of an exception..... Let me find it.
Mistress Falada had written"
Just an FYI - Dame Fiona has a period (yes, period) recipe for potatoes.
And before anyone jumps me: I know that the white potatoes we have
today are not the black, oily period variety. However, I have yet
to see the period type any place that I could purchase them. Therefore,
substitutions should be acceptable.
Anyway, Dame Fiona's documentation was good enough to be accepted at her
Grand Chef qualification feast. If anyone is interested, I am sure she
would be glad to share the information.
And later, Dame Fiona herself said:
Second, as far as the potatoes are concerned, the recipe was
published in a German cookbook in 1598. To describe the dish I
would simply have to say "hashbrowns". Is this the same recipe you
are referring to Tibor? Variations of the recipe are available in
many modern cookbooks, but I got it from an English translation of
the original recipe. It is called "Rosti".
