One potato, two potato, three potato more!
Topic: In the Kitchen
Even though there was just three of us my Mother always cooked a big pot of potatoes. She'd warm up the left over potatoes the next couple of suppers, usually by slicing and frying them with a bit of chopped onion until they were brown and crispy. Mom loved potatoes and having cooked potatoes in the fridge was a real time saver for her. This was before microwaves. I adopted her cooking methods and I always cook a big pot of potaoes. Here's a few ideas on how to serve them the next night or two for.

Slice boiled potatoes and fry in a non stick pan sprayed with Watkins cooking spray, season potoatoes with a few sprinkles of onion and garlic granuals, seasoning salt and pepper. My kids prefer them seasoned with Watkins Fire Pepper.

Re-heat mashed potatoes mixed with one beatten egg, a teaspoon of minced green onion flakes, a teaspoon of omelete and souffle seasoning and a bit of pepper. Bake in the oven until heated and slightly browned. Optional - sprinkle with a bit of grated old cheddar cheese or other cheese before baking.

Leftover potatoes make great hashbrowns and are healthier than most frozen brands.

Heat any leftover potatoes in a covered dish in the microwave. Season with a variety of herbs and spices to suit your taste. Watkins butter flavored salt makes plain potatoes taste great.

So cook potatoes once, serve two or three times!
