"Hilda's Potatoes" - a podcast by Jess Tagg

“She was our domestic worker in south Africa. She brought me up from when I was really young. I knew her all my life.”

Brandon shares Hilda’s Potatoes with us. Brandon grew up in south Africa on the east coast of Durban and came from a big family. Hilda was their housekeeper who lived with their family for many years and played a pivotal character in Brandon’s upbringing. Don’t be fooled by the basic ingredient; this recipe takes time and patience, but the reward is great. Hilda’s potatoes are SO damn good!

FYI: This episode was recorded right at the start of lockdown (you can hear how the novelty of working from home hasn’t worn thin on us yet) so I had to adapt the format of the podcast. This was recorded via Skype and instead of being cooked a delicious meal by my guests, I decided to cook along with them.
