Who doesn’t enjoy potato dishes?
The holiday season is a time for people to explore new possibilities and discover menus with creative dishes. For proud baby potato growers from Canada, it’s time for their harvest to shine on your holiday table in the form of delicious yet easy sides.
We featured grapes as a holiday fruit in our last post, and now it’s time for baby potatoes to take the spotlight. Below, baby potato experts have shared their favorite holiday recipes showcasing this tiny but versatile ingredient, along with a few bonus potato dishes from us to ensure you never run out of ideas for your meals.
Baby potato recipes
The Little Potato Company recently shared two of their top baby potato side dish recipes, which showcase how easy and tasty they can be with any meal.
Herby Holiday Air Fryer Little Potatoes
These Little Potatoes are tossed with oil and seasoning and then cooked until crispy. Fresh or dried herbs like parsley, rosemary, sage, or oregano add savory flavor, making it a light, tasty side dish. What we like most is using the air fryer, a tool we enjoy in our cooking.
Warm Winter Potato Salad with Cranberries
This side dish brings together warm potatoes, dried cranberries, apple slices, and a tangy mustard dressing. Each bite features sweet and savory flavors. The salad can be topped with walnuts, parsley, and green onions.
For added creamy texture, experts recommend adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise to the dressing. For a quicker route, use store-bought honey mustard vinaigrette.
Bonus recipes with potatoes
If you’re inspired to try more potato recipes this holiday season, here are some additional suggestions worth trying:
Loaded Fingerling
For this simple side dish, we use fingerling potatoes as the key ingredient. They’re full of smoky bacon, melted cheese, and pantry spices. The potatoes are roasted first, then topped with mashed potatoes, crispy bacon, green onions, and melted cheddar cheese for a delicious finish. *Whispers* Quick tip: Add sour cream when serving.
Sausage Potato Casserole
This potato casserole is hearty and comforting, made with sausage, potatoes, onions, cheese, and spices. You can customize it by using different sausages, like Italian or breakfast sausage, and adding vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
