Potatoes are my all time favorite food and fortunately for me, there are so many ways to eat potatoes. This tuber is chock full of potassium and it also has fiber. Potatoes should always be in your kitchen because they are easy to prepare and give you so many options for a tasty meal or snack. Here are my favorite ways to eat potatoes, so go ahead and give them a try.
I love potato packets anytime I barbecue. They work great with steak, chicken or fish and are a delicious side. You might not even want to eat anything else. Spritz a large square of foil with cooking spray and pile it with cubed potatoes, onions and green bell peppers. Season the mixture with garlic salt and pepper. Wrap the foil around the potatoes to form a packet and grill for about 5 minutes on each side. Check the potato and return to the grill if needed.
This dish is great for breakfast, but you can eat it for lunch and dinner too. Start by coating a baking sheet with cooking spray. Scatter chopped potatoes, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini on the tray and spray them with cooking spray. Season to taste with salt and pepper and roast at 450 degrees for about 30 to 45 minutes. Pile the hash in a bowl and top with a fried egg or two.
If you never know what to do with leftover mashed potatoes, here’s your answer. Heat the potatoes and put them in homemade or store-bought taco shells. Top with roasted poblano peppers, green chili, shredded lettuce and queso fresco. So good!
