Potato Recipes – Saving Money with Easy & Tasty Recipes

This week we will focus on a basic that is frequently on sale — potatoes and Potato Recipes!

I don’t know about you but one food we always consume more of in the fall and winter seasons are potatoes. We love potatoes boiled, roasted, baked, mashed and steamed. Plus, with potatoes being so affordable, they are an inexpensive and dang yummy filler.

However, if you have found yourself bored of your regular potato recipes, don’t toss the potatoes in your pantry and forget about them or you will be wasting food and money. What a shame! Don’t worry, we can keep those yummy tubers from going to waste with these terrific potato recipes:

Here are some ideas for Potato Recipes:

• Have you ever tried mashing them with horseradish and reduced fat sour cream? . No? make them stat!
• Do you already have lots of mashed potato leftovers and you need a fresh idea so that the family will eat them before the garbage can does? Then make mashed potato pancakes.
• If you are also big on saving time, why not roast some potatoes while you are roasting the chicken? These Roasted Red Potatoes with Bacon, Garlic & Parmesan are guaranteed to be eaten faster than you can say pass the ketchup.
