Central Standard
You're about to start an apprenticeship at the hot new restaurant: Central Standard! Will you make the grade or go down in flames? Hey, there's always the bar after work!!
An entry into the $108 Adventure Challenge
Author's Note: There is a bug in which you will be unable to finish making the Pommes Anna without peeled potatoes in your inventory. So, either skip the mandoline step or retrieve some fresh basement potatoes and peel them before you begin to work on it. Oops! Thanks for your patience.

Hey, beautiful and engaging as always! I think I've hit a bug though, I can't seem to pick up the potatoes in the workbench closeup... it worked once randomly, but it won't let me again (tried both web and download version)... is there a trick?
Very easily could be a bug as there's a few little oddities in the whole thing I couldn't quite pin down. The inventory window up top is disallowed so you can concentrate on what's before you on the prep table. The way it's supposed to work is click on the mixing bowl of potatoes, click on the cast iron. If that's not working then I'm really not sure what the answer is except maybe starting over and hoping hoping that the next try is more successful. Not a great answer but that's game jams, I guess!
At any rate, thanks for the kind words!!
I'm in the same situation. Do you have an exact sequence of things you usually do in order to get through this part?
I'm not exactly sure what's going on here but I suspect it has something to do with the "peeled potatoes" being in your inventory. There are several tools in your inventory that peel potatoes so I think maybe one of them is wrong. Using the potatoes on the Y-Peeler (which Jobie claims to hate!) will work. Or that using the mandoline on the peeled potatoes removes the potatoes from your inventory which would also make this happen, I think. Luckily, you can actually skip the mandoline step completely! There are also still debug controls in the game so if that doesn't work "ctrl-s" will give you every inventory item which may also work. Plus, that would give you a look at some cut content and other weird and broken stuff!
EDIT: I think actually doing the thing you are instructed in-game to do is the problem. Don't shave the potatoes. (What a weird sentence)
Thanks, now it's done :) EGA palette is peculiar and very challenging to use; you really pushed it to the limit!
Same here. I tried a couple of times but couldn't put the potatoes on the pan when I'm in the closeup of the prep table.
Oh, I left a reply that may shed some light on the problem. Yikes! Sorry about the bugs!!
If I avoid using the mandoline, I can finish the game. Thanks!
