Potatoes. Spuds. Tubers. No matter how you slice ’em—or mash, dice, or grate ’em—that bit of prep is worth the delicious results! And when you love spuds, these dishes really deliver. What better way to show your loved ones you care than serving up delicious and nutritious fare?
Since we tend to serve the best eats during the holidays, IVI presents two tried-and-true recipes for your holiday season, or for year ’round enjoyment.
At IVI, our aim is to help growers protect their potato harvest in storage, before they are delivered to market. The tastiest spuds have enjoyed a fruitful (or vegetable-ful) time in the ground, and are then well tended to in storage. Controlling temperature, humidity, and air flow, among other factors, are key for the best results out of storage.
When potatoes move from storage, to market, and to your home, good storage helps here, too. If you aren’t using your spuds right away, you’ll want to keep these tips in mind:
Storing your potatoes correctly helps preserve the vitamin C content. The nutrient-rich potato is also high in potassium, is fat- and cholesterol-free, and spuds are good for your brain.
First up is an amazing potato roll recipe courtesy of the Mitchell family, from the potato-rich area of Southern Idaho. Soft, fluffy, and lightly flavored, these rolls make an excellent accompaniment to almost any main dish.
Makes 24 rolls
Ingredients:
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in potatoes, sugar, shortening or butter, eggs, salt and 3 cups of the flour.
Beat until smooth in a stand mixer. Add enough of the remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turn greased side up (or grease both sides). Cover bowl tightly, refrigerate 8 hours.
Beat back down and divide into two. Roll out in a 14 – 16” circle. Using a knife or pizza cutter cut into 12 “pizza slices”. Starting on the outside edge, roll each piece into the center to form the crescent rolls. Place on a cookie sheet with small tail on the bottom and curve edges in slightly. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again. Heat oven to 375°. Cook for 9 minutes.
Notes:
It’s best to make these a day ahead to let the flavors develop. You can keep dough in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Eat these rolls with butter and jam with your holiday feasts, or make larger rolls, which are perfect to make into leftover turkey sandwiches.
