Peter Tork: I Love Potatoes!


I love Pototoes
The handsome Mr. Tork


Peter Tork, the adorable banjo picking, guitar playing dreamboat, is a mighty big fan of potatoes. When asked if he liked baked potatoes, he flashed a heart warming grin with this declaration---
“I LOVE potatoes!”
Since Peter has come forward with his potato love, many frantic fans have been bombarding Chaperone Party’s headquarters with letters, worried about what this means.
“I just know that Peter is talking about Missus Potato Head!” one Tork enthusiast wrote in a tear stained note. Many other Tork devotees seem to share in this same sentiment.

The lovely Missus Potato Head.

We here at Chaperone Party would like to reassure all  Peter admirers that there is not a grain of truth in this mash potato of a tale. While it is true that Peter has been known to hang out with Missus Potato Head on numerous occasions, Missus is totally devoted to her studly spud, Mister.

When Peter said that he loves potatoes, he means just that. So next time you bite into a French fry, just think of Peter, enjoying the same food as you. It should be noted, however, that Peter avoids all tomato products because of the sensitivity it can cause to the joints, so he won’t be dunking those fries in ketchup. But before you weep at the thought of Peter eating his fries plain, rest assure that ranch dressing is quite tasty as condimental substitute, as is horseradish sauce.

And now as a bonus treat, here is a sure-fire recipe for baked potatoes that will knock yours and Peter’s mismatched socks off!

Peter’s Perfect Baked Potato
one good sized potato
butter or margarine
salt and pepper (for seasoning)
a dollop of sour cream
cheese (which ever type is your favorite!)

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Scrub the potato, and pierce the skin several times with a knife or fork.
  2. Place the potato in the preheated oven, and bake for 90 minutes, or until slightly soft and golden brown. Slice the potato down the center, and serve with butter and sour cream (don’t forget to salt and pepper it to your liking). A little bit of grated cheese makes it all the more delicious!

Bon appetite, Chaperone Partiers!
