The weeks leading up to and during the holidays are so stressful, so you just want to get easy meals on the table that make everybody happy. To do that, I love The Little Potato Company. They’re always my go-to because they are so delicious and so easy to prepare. You can make a ton of great side dishes with them so you can bring a little holiday happiness to regular family mealtimes.

They have a whole line of ready-to-cook, bagged family-friendly Little Potatoes, and microwave-ready Little Potato kits. They come pre-washed, don’t need to be peeled, are small enough that they don’t need to be cut, and they cook in as little as five minutes.

The microwave kits come with delicious seasoning packs, like one with roasted garlic, rosemary & thyme, which my family just loves. These are sustainably grown on family farms, so you’re getting fresh, whole food, packed full of nutrients that you can feel good about serving.

We made amazing cheesy baked Little Potatoes. First, preheat the oven, pierce the potatoes, and microwave them for seven minutes. Next, cut them in half in a parchment lined baked dish, and in a small bowl mix cheese, cream, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper, then pour it over the potatoes. Bake for 10 minutes, then broil for three to five minutes, and you get this crispy on the outside, tender on the inside deliciousness.

You can find Little Potatoes in the produce section. Visit littlepotatoes.com for this and other great recipe ideas.
