Potato Recipes

My aunt Gwen was a great cook and she kept go-to, quick recipes that were always as good as her spent-all-day-making recipes. This was one of my favorites from her go-to, quick list.

All the taste of a loaded baked potato, in a hearty soup.

Try these light and low-fat personal pies for dessert during the fall. They're a great substitute for pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole.

Low-fat cottage cheese is the secret to the dressing in this delicious and simple summer side.

Sweet potatoes and bananas combine to make a flavorful low fat custard.

A healthy alternative to an American favorite.

An interesting but tasty dessert, perfect for a cool evening.

Sweet and creamy, both sweet potatos and beans are good sources of dietary fiber!

This has been a great substitute for potato salad for me.

Not your basic yams.

This is a tasty side that can be added to any main course.

If you love veggies, you will love this side dish.

This is one of my favorite soups! Slightly sweet with a kick! The chipotle en adobo peppers can be found at a regular grocery store where the authentic mexican ingredients are. They are in a can and only one pepper is plenty for this whole pot of soup.

I use this recipe when I'm craving something sweet. It answers that craving for the sweet and I don't feel quilty afterwards. To make sweet potato chips more healthful, instead of deep frying them, I toss them with oil and bake in the oven.

Tasty way to use up leftover ham.

The addition of cream of mushroom soup adds a nice flavor

These golden pancakes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They taste great with applesauce!

Another one-pot meal that tastes creamy, but doesn't have the fat of creamed soups. Guaranteed to warm you up and stick to your ribs!

A great vegetarian twist on Split Pea Soup.

Gluten Free variety of gnocchi

You'll never believe that this creamy, rich dish doesn't have any potatoes! It's also high in protein for a side with 10 grams per serving!

Nothing satisfies like potatoes, especially these crunchy, browned, herb-crusted potato wedges. They're great with ketchup, fat-free sour cream, or all by themselves!

I stole this from a kraft magazine, it is really delicious!

This delicious blend of maple syrup, sugar and cinnamon add a warm, homey taste to plain mashed sweet potatoes!

Simply satisfying and packed with flavor.
