…Melting potatoes are one of the easiest, most delicious ways to get a lot of bang for your buck for a quick side dish. The oven does the majority of the work for you, all you have to do is flip them a couple of times. That tiny bit of effort is rewarded with the most perfectly roasted potato dish to ever grace your dinner table. I love serving these with this Beef Tenderloin Roast for special occasions.
This is the best of both worlds as far as potatoes go. Just like my Cajun grilled potato wedges, the outside is golden and incredibly crispy, while the inside remains tender and fluffy.

Idaho® Potatoes roasted until crispy then tossed with toasted, herbed pecans and a honey mustard pecan dressing. These potatoes are packed with flavor and just a little spice. This is a delicious side dish that would go beautifully with your holiday dinner.
Oven roasted potatoes are an everyday side, but add toasted pecans tossed with herbs and a little spice and drizzle a honey mustard pecan dressing over it and now you’ve got a new holiday side dish. Taking something ordinary and jazzing it up for a holiday meal is a great way to serve a familiar ingredient while making it a little special. If you have picky eaters, or family members that are reluctant to try new foods, this is one way to please (mostly) everyone. Mixing in purple and red potatoes makes it more pleasing to the eye and the punch of green from the herbs brightens it up, making it more visually appealing.

A breakfast casserole is the perfect way to handle holidays. Whether it’s Mother’s Day, Christmas, Easter or even a family reunion weekend, it is the best bang for your buck. You can feed a crowd without standing in front of the stove for hours and the best part – it can be made ahead.
This last part is what seals the deal for me – getting everything prepared beforehand so you can simply slide it into the oven and go visit with your people.

I really enjoy making a great spread and sitting around the table for a couple of hours while sipping on coffee and picking on the bountiful feast in front of me. Mother’s Day is next weekend and if I were able to spend it with my Mom, this is what I’d make for her. If you would like to solidify your position as her “favorite”, make this for her and you’ll have it in the bag for good.
