Comfort Potatoes

Sometimes I just need some comfort food.

I need to eat it and not feel guilty.

This is one of those foods.

I had some baked potatoes that I put in the freezer.  I loving freezing baked potatoes, because they're already cooked, and you can do so many things with them.

I thawed the potatoes and then cut them into cubes.

Then I put a small amount of cooking oil in a pan, threw in the potatoes, and crisped them up a bit.

Then I dumped them in a bowl and added:

shredded cheddar

margarine

sour cream

chives

Then I ate them.

These potatoes are so yummy and warm you up.  

Maybe pair it with grilled chicken so you get some kind of nutrition...and don't eat the whole batch of potatoes like I was tempted to do!

Edit: Don't have leftover baked potatoes?  Just slice up some uncooked potatoes, throw them in the skillet, and fry them up.  Everything's better fried :)

Potato Potatah

I love potatoes.

So you can imagine my relief when I found out that they were one of the few things that I did not have to give up!  They're naturally gluten free!

Whoop-ieeeee!

We've been eating a lot of potatoes around the house.  I have to be careful about eating them out because they might have been seasoned or battered with something that has gluten in it.

Potato 1

I cut up some sweet potatoes, baked them, and made a drizzle to bathe them in.

Drizzle: mix of brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, milk (I didn't say that these potatoes were healthy!).

I think next time I would skin the sweet potatoes.  The skin isn't as yummy as regular potatoes and was too chewy.

Potato 2

I found this recipe for spicy tators and really liked the outcome.

Colin liked the outcome too...

(grilled pears are also on that plate...yum!)

I also found a gluten free recipe for my favorite dish-- hash brown casserole...I can't wait to try it!

What are some ways you like to liven up potatoes?
