The potato, described as a starchy tuberous crop, is one of the most affordable and variety filled foods to feed your family.  The tater can keep a family filled over a short winter, and being an easy crop to grow, should be a mainstay to the diet.

And, it is delicious.

So delicious that I had to round up a bundle of awesome recipes made with our friendly spud. Dinners and snacks that will keep bellies filled any time of year.

Pick your fave, or try them all, but give homage to the humble potato for it’s history and it’s fabulousness when mixed with a sharp cheddar!
