Potato Recipes
Apple Cider Chili
Today, I have the great privilege of sharing with you a guest recipe by Phoebe Canakis. Phoebe and I became acquainted through Fig magazine for which we are both contributors. With memories of dinner around the table that were created on a budget and not from a box and with roots in a Greek heritage,…
Parmesan Crusted Roasted Potato and Arugula Salad
As summer draws to a close, I am always a little sad to say goodbye to seasonal favorites like peaches and corn on the cob. But with autumn’s cooler temperatures, there are many delicious options to enjoy anew. Crunchy, tart apples, creamy winter squashes, and an array of greens that truly improve as the…
Potato Crusted Salmon
My T-Fal cookware giveaway began yesterday. In conjunction with that giveaway, I was asked to review the Cooking Planit app. I joke with my kids that I am “under-app-ed.” That is my made-up term meaning that I hardly have any apps and the ones I have I rarely use! I know…I should get with the program! I…
California Potato Salad
Buttery avocado, juicy tomatoes, and a bit of crisp bacon will shake up your potato salad routine for a light yet filling spin on the classic dish. This absolutely delicious reader recipe was sent to me by Leola, Pennsylvania native Nancy Irvin James, who mentioned that the recipe got its name because she developed it…
Cheesy Potato Soup with Roasted Poblano, Greens and Bacon…and the Top 10 Flavor Trends
Since I first accepted the new role as a flavor correspondent for Sargento, working in conjunction with Rick Bayless’ list of Top 10 Food Trends, I have started to experiment with new ingredients and combinations and to read about some of the ethnic cuisines that are less familiar to me. I am having fun in…
Roasted Cauliflower and New Potatoes with Blue Cheese
Super easy and incredibly satisfying, this recipe is veggie-based comfort food at its best. Minimal ingredients equal maximum flavor! Rice makes a perfect “sponge” for the flavorful tomato-based sauce in my easy slow cooker chicken tikka masala. But with this and other dishes for which rice forms a purposeful base, I sometimes replace the…
Roasted 2-Way Potatoes
This is the way I got my kids to like sweet potatoes: mixed with regular potatoes and cooked like steak fries. I started by sneaking just one on their plate. Having had one especially picky eater, I have a whole lot of dinnertime tricks up my sleeve! I like to think those tricks actually worked,…
Greek Sausage and Egg Skillet
Fast food without the drive-thru. It can seriously happen…and taste better and cost less. For me, getting dinner on the table every night often involves creative use of leftovers or a simple meal of fresh ingredients. Pulled together in the right way, this can be both healthy and very satisfying. The ingredients for this meal,…
Smashed Roasted Potatoes (2 Ways)
In my family, we have those who adore sweet potatoes and those who prefer the white varieties. So, I often make oven fries two ways to please everyone. (I like them both!) This addictive spin on an oven fry delivers a creamy inside and a little crunch on the outside. The prep may be done…
Potato-Chive Salmon Burgers (or Sliders)
Having canned, wild salmon on hand is such an easy way to whip up a quick, healthy, affordable dinner–in this case, as salmon cakes. The addition of leftover potatoes and chives give the cakes some heft and great flavor. Remaining salmon cakes make a satisfying sandwich for lunch or another dinner the next day. To…
Baked Egg in a Potato
Sadie, Silvia, Polly, and Peppy are our backyard chickens, and they keep us well supplied with fresh eggs! I am always dreaming up creative ways to use the eggs, and I recently saw a picture which inspired this easy dish my whole family adored. The recipe is very loose. Basically, you bake an egg in…
Easy Baked Potato Skins
Saving the tops of the potatoes from the Baked Egg in a Potato dinner is such an easy way to whip up these yummy treats but you can certainly make quick work of them by simply baking or microwaving a few potatoes at the last minute. While I topped ours with a sprinkle of sharp…
