Friends, just in time for fall and Thanksgiving, this is one of our favorite potato dishes: Paula Deen’s Smashed Potato, Parsnips, and Rutabaga Recipe.

Are you a recipe follower, or can you think outside the box and make up your own recipes?

We recently pulled different varieties of potatoes from our garden and sometimes I get in a potato rut.

Our recipe last week: Pressure cooked potatoes with rosemary, sage, sour cream, salt and pepper, green onion, and yummy smoked paprika!

Potatoes have to be cooked just right for me to enjoy them, like with lots of different toppings, creamy, buttery … you know what I mean.

Real Simple’s new magazine that just came out has a list of 10 ways to cook mashed potatoes. Brilliant!

Just like I did with the appetizer ideas, I hung it inside my kitchen cupboard.

Easy, fast ideas. Perfect for leftover mashed potatoes, too.

We made up our own recipe over the weekend and served them for breakfast with scrambled eggs. Potato pancakes – oh, boy!

Basically you take your leftover potatoes and fry them up. It’s that easy.
