Extra Potato

EXTRACALIFRAGILICIOUS. Kasi when the POTATO farmers harvest, everything attached to the plant must come out of the ground. It’s finished or not finished, pass your papers. The big and bigger ones have no problem getting sold. The immature potatoes fetch the least price. We think of them as “baby potatoes” or “new potatoes” but the farmers call them “Extra”. It’s not praise in the contest of extra nice or extra good, but a sort of derogative — “extra naman, pwedeng pamigay, pwedeng di manili”. We’re here to change the narrative a little bit on Extra potatoes = extra income para sa farmers, magbabayad ang RuRi ng extra. So let’s do it? We are hereby launching an effort for Extra Potatoes. Small and tender potatoes, delicate skin, creamy flesh, slightly sweet in taste. Make a wonderful salad, boil them in sugar like Koreans do, or roast them beside meat.

EXTRA INCOME POTATOES. We are seeking support for 300 kilos of Extra Potatoes harvested by our farmers in Buguias, Benguet. If you give P199, you shall get 4 heavy kilos. Steal! (When we say this word, steal deal talaga).
