Last week I made a pot roast and it needed a few sides. So I searched the internet to find a couple of sides to serve along with the roast. One was the Roasted Cauliflower that I posted about last week. Today I am posting about some exquisitely creamy, garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes. So tasty and full of flavor. They honestly take no more time than regular mashed potatoes so if you have a choice, I would always make these.
I shaved some slices of Parmesan onto the potatoes for this shot. It is unnecessary, but added yet another punch of cheese flavor to the dish.

I love breakfast. Probably my favorite meal of the day. Mostly because it is the only meal where it is cool to eat bacon straight up. But secondly, because it is almost always served with potatoes. I love those crazy tubers. So I decided to whip up some potatoes. These potatoes are loaded with peppers and onions. They are almost a breakfast on their own.
Heck, top with an egg and you are good to go.

I have said it and I will say it again. I love potatoes. They are tasty, filling, and go great with cheese. A couple of days ago I posted Braised Short Ribs. They were delicious and created some of the tastiest gravy that I have ever had. What goes great with gravy? Potatoes. What goes great with braised short rib gravy? Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes.
They were creamy and delicious. They had just enough goat cheese to taste the cheese without overpowering the potatoes. Amazing!!!

I am a huge fan of potatoes. Maybe that is the Midwesterner in me. Maybe it because I love starch. I really don’t have an answer for it, but I do know that I love potatoes. So whenever I am looking for a side, I always look to potatoes first. Searching through the internet I found a great recipe for Parmesan Potato Wedges.
Topped with parmesan and parsley these potatoes are awesome!!

I am always looking for new ways to cook side dishes on the grill. The other day I went to an Irish Pub in Alexandria that served potato coins as a side to their dishes. These coins were deep fried but they gave me inspiration to try to make coins on the grill. The potatoes were thin enough to cook on the grill, so I decided to give it a try. Potato coins are my new favorite side.

Grilled hot for the perfect grill lines and then moved up to the upper rack of the grill to finish cooking them.

I always seem to bbq an extra chicken breast every time that I grill. I have no idea why there is an extra one, but there is always an extra. So I decided to come up with a great way to use the leftovers. On a side note, this use of bbq chicken leftovers is so good, I actually grill chicken to make it. Yep, it is chicken smothered in bbq sauce and layered with bacon and cheese. Oh, I forgot the best part. It is all in a potato bowl. How awesome does that sound?

Top with a dollop of sour cream and some freshly cut green onions.

I am in full Turkey Day mode. To go with the turkey that I made yesterday, I decided to make some whipped red skin potatoes. Red skin potatoes are my favorite. They are not too starchy and they taste great. Since they have less starch, they whip up nicely. Plus, I like having the skins in the mashed potatoes. It gives the potatoes a homemade feel and further emphasizes to your dinner guests that you actually made real mashed potatoes. Another bonus, I think it looks cool.
Whipped Red Skin Potatoes
Simple and super tasty.

This past week I have been posting recipes from my parents visit. Today is no different. Over the weekend my Dad and I barbecued and my Mom made all of the sides. One of the best was the German Potato salad. My Mom made this and I had to have the recipe. Of all of the sides that we had, it was the first of all of the side to be completely eaten.
