Recently, though, I tried a spin on this recipe that makes it even easier. I had purchased some yellow summer squash and zucchini, and had thought to make this side dish with them. But I also had on hand some microwave-ready potatoes in the Savory Herb flavor from the Little Potato Company. So I decided to incorporate them into the saute.
It turned out to be quite an inspired idea. I liked the saute even better with the small whole potatoes than with the sliced red potatoes which the recipe calls for. And the savory herb flavor was wonderful with the squash. I have since tried the Garlic Parsley flavor in this recipe and it is also delicious.
Have you tried the products from Little Potato Company? I had actually never heard of them until a few years ago when I won a giveaway featuring them. I haven't tried all of the available products, but I can say that the microwave-ready potatoes with seasoning pack are absolutely wonderful.
Of course, you can make this recipe as originally published. But if you want a quick and easy side dish that will use up some of that zucchini and summer squash, you may like to try this variation as well. I don't think you will be disappointed.
No, I’ve not heard of them but I’ll be looking for them now! That sounds like something we would love!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of those potatoes but will now try to find them! Are they frozen or will I find them in the fresh produce section?
ReplyDeleteYou will find them in the fresh produce section, Terri. In my grocery store they are near the potatoes in a free-standing display of their own. I've also seen them in the produce section at Walmart.
DeleteNever heard of Little Potato Company, but it looks very delicious! :-)
ReplyDeleteNew to me, but if I see them, I am purchasing some. Sounds as if they’d be very convenient and better than allowing potatoes to go bad as they seem to do here these days. One person doesn’t eat a lot of potatoes...
