What does 'amp' stand for?....

I am about to cook a Dhal Curry (I got the recipe off here this pm), but it says in the recipe:

2 potatoes, peeled & diced

I know i'm probably being thick and it's obvious.. but what does 'amp' stand for?

    Surely that's just a typo, and it should be peeled and diced.

    Have you got a link for the recipe?

    It is from the computer when an ampersand is put in. Nothing to do with the recipe!!

    It's not obvious :)

    It's because for some reason there is a problem with the code in the webpage and it isn't displaying properly. "&" is html code for an ampersand (the & symbol).

    So it just wants to to peel AND dice your potatoes!

    It'll just be 'and'...Peeled and diced.

    I've noticed this sometimes happens with older posts on forums. I think it might be when a forum updates, or gets moved :)
