Dr. Potato Loves Game Day Recipes With Idaho® Potatoes As The Star

Q:

Do you have any last minute, easy to make game day recipes with Idaho Potatoes as the star?

A:

Of course! And, thanks for calling out the star aspects of using Idaho potatoes for a fun day of watching football. It’s ok to be a couch potato once in a while.

Instead of a taco bar, save the avocado and beans for the classic seven-layer dip, and instead set up a mashed potato bar. Then, the ingredients or toppings are totally unlimited. You could also make it a French fry or Tots bar variation.

Baked potatoes with healthy and indulgent toppings are always a crowd pleaser. Place the washed and scrubbed Idaho russets in a single layer on a sheet pan or directly on the oven racks and time it for about one hour when heated up to 400°F.

Sheet pan dinners or oven baked French fries are sure to be a hit. Wouldn’t these go great with Philadelphia cheese steaks or as a tasty side with Boston Clam Chowder?
