Crispy (No-Fry) Potato Pancake Poppers
These "potato fries" might only be half as tall as Tater Tots, but personally I think they're twice as good! With just a handful of ingredients and no messy stovetop frying, get ready to enjoy these crispy, caramelized potato pancake poppers. Pipe sour cream on top and sprinkle with chives to serve, or arrange on a platter and serve alongside an amazing dip, like a garlicky pesto aioli. They also make for truly fantastic breakfast potatoes to serve with bacon and eggs.
Marinated Mushrooms
Little mushrooms are marinated in a zesty mixture and are great for buffet-style gatherings. This recipe was handed down to me by my grandma. They keep well for a long time in the fridge, or you may can them in mason jars and store them in the cupboard.
