It’s hard to envision a meal without potatoes sometimes. French fries and mashed potatoes are a common staple of the American cuisine. Needless to say, we eat our fair share of them too. Here are a few recipes I’ve found that are all centered around the ever popular potato.
Nacho Potato Wedges
3 – medium potatoes
1 – cup of Velveeta cheese
1 – cup jalapeño peppers
Cut the potatoes into wedges. Cube the Velveeta cheese. Bake the potatoes at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Melt cheese in the microwave or Crock-Pot. Stir and cook until the cheese is fully melted and smooth. Pour over potatoes. Place 1-2 jalapeño peppers on each wedge. Enjoy!
Nana’s Potato Casserole
5 – Potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 – 10.5 oz can of cream of mushroom soup
1 – cup grated cheddar cheese
Place sliced potatoes in a greased, 2-quart casserole dish. Dilute soup with 1/2 cup of milk or water and mix well. Pour over the potatoes. Bake covered at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover and top with cheese and bake for 15 minutes longer. (I like to add a chopped onion in there before baking, too)
Microwave Potato Skins
4 – Baked potatoes
1 – cup shredded cheddar cheese
4-6 – slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
Slice potatoes lengthwise and microwave for 3 minutes. Scoop out the potatoes, leaving 1/4″ on the skins. Fill each potato skin with cheese and bacon. Place on plate and cover with a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
Baked Onion French Fries
1 – 1oz. envelope of dry onion soup mix
3 – tablespoons canola oil
1 – 24oz package French fried potatoes
In a large bowl, combine soup mix and oil. Add potatoes and stir until coated with soup mixture. Bake according to directions on potatoes, stirring as needed.
