A while back I teased about a partnership with the Idaho Potato Commission. Talk about a dream come true. You might already know by now but I happen to have a love affair with potatoes. I grew up eating them all the time, because when you don’t have that much money, potatoes really do give you a big bang for your buck. Potatoes are the vegetable I can’t get enough of. I could literally eat them every single day, in every which way, and never tire from them. Now, if you follow me on snapchat or instagram (which you totally should if you don’t. Find me on Snap: CandidAppetite and Instagram: JonJon33) then you’ll for sure have seen a few sneak peeks of this partnership made in heaven. I’ve mentioned before that I’m very particular with the partnerships and sponsorships I take on here, because I never want to feel like I’m giving up part of my integrity. So I only take on sponsorships that I truly believe in and actually really like. If you remember, last year I created a few recipes for Idaho potato which ranged from Carne Asada Fries, Mac and Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie, and Baked Potato Sliders. There was literally something for everyone. Now I’m happy to report that I’ve once again teamed up with Idaho Potato to bring you some new and exciting recipes that feature my all-time favorite vegetable.
These Roasted Idaho Potato Wedge Salads are just the beginning. This year I’ve made four different recipes that switch up how we see potato dishes. For instance there’s a new take on loaded french fries (hint: kimchi is involved), a twist on one of my favorite Peruvian appetizers, and even a dessert. A dessert made of potatoes? Get out of town and stay out. I promise they’re all delicious and so worth the wait, but luckily you won’t have to wait much longer because I’ll be sharing a new Idaho Potato recipe each week; starting with these wedge salads. I don’t know about you, but I happen to love a good wedge salad. I mean sure, as far as salads go these probably have the least amount of nutritional value. Okay they have literally no nutritional value. Although the tomatoes and red onions must be good for you. I know that iceberg lettuce is all water with not much to give, but gosh if it isn’t so tasty in salads. There’s something about its crisp texture that really gets me. It reminds me of being a kid and eating at a Sizzler salad bar. I don’t care what you say, but a Sizzler salad bar is the best salad bar. These wedge salads are like a salad bar gone crazy, but the good crazy because roasted Idaho potatoes are involved.
