DID YOU KNOW: “Potatoes are mainly grown in rotation with maize and wheat. The major potato producing areas in South Africa are the Limpopo (19%), the Western Free State (16%), the Sandveld area (15%) and the Eastern Free State (11%). These four regions represents ± 61 % of total potato production in the country.” – namc.co.za

You can adjust this recipe as you like.
Add a bit more parsley, keep the potatoes chunky, add some carrot, or just serve it with a sprinkle of bacon or your favorite chopped chorizo sausage on top.

In South Africa, there is an area in the Western Cape, between the ‘Swartland’ and the West Coast, that they call “Die Sandveld”.
Although it is not the biggest producer of potatoes in SA, this region is famous for its potato production.
However, the area in and around is very beautiful. Places like Piketberg, Moorreesburg, Koringberg, and more, are especially beautiful during the wheat growing season.
Stop on the route during harvest season and watch the farmers as they harvest wheat.
If you’re traveling through this part of the region on your way to Clanwilliam, do support the businesses in the area. And if you’re in the area during September months, keep an eye out for the “Moorreesburg Skou”.
