→ Damn Delicious: Summer Breakfast Hash

damndelicious:

In all the times that I’ve made a breakfast hash, this has become one of my favorites. It’s a perfect summer recipe with so many fresh vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini squash, and corn, that’s sauteed in bacon fat along with carb-filled potatoes (sounds like heaven, no?). I actually…

→ TopShelf Network, Inc.: COOK, EAT, LOVE~ Roasted Pork Loin & Potatoes

topshelfnetwork:

This is definitely a “Sunday Dinner”. A classic meat and potato dinner that looks fancy. Easy, but not super quick, yet still possible on a weeknight if you have the time. Overall it will probably take about an hour and a half with prep, cook and rest time. Well worth it though. When meat…

potatoes mashed garlic recipe meal nutrition weight loss complex carb milk

14 August 2011

jessercize: I’m currently cooking up a storm to get a jump start on preparing my meals for the week and thought I’d take the time to introduce a healthy and tasty side dish.Mashed Garlic Red Potatoes 3lb. bag of baby red potatoes 1-2 cups milk (I use whole milk) 1 tbsp. minced garlic Make sure you rince off all potatoes prior to cooking them.  Thoroughly boil the potatoes until they are soft enough to easily slice through them with a knife or fork.  Dispose of the water and leave potatoes in the same pot that they were cooked in.  Pour in 1-2 cups of milk and add 1 tbsp. of minced garlic.  Mash them up. Salt to taste. Voila. Super easy recipe and a healthy one at that! You can adjust this recipe all depending on how you like your potatoes mashed. I chose to cook mine whole so that I could get the full nutritional and vitamin values from the skin.  If you’re not a fan of the skin you can always peel them prior to boiling them through.  The same thing can be said for using whole milk over skim or 1%.  There are far more nutrients as well as a healthy dose of fat when using whole milk and the calorie difference is MINOR.  I also prefer my mashed potatoes with chunky bits left throughout but feel free to make them super creamy by mashing them up longer if that’s what you prefer.
