I Tried Fingerling Potatoes

]]> Have you tried any of those fingerling potatoes?  I had the opportunity to try some from the Mountain King company. They sent me 2-two pound bags of mixed potatoes, along with recipes. Each bag contains a combination of Rose Finn Apple, Russian Banana, French Fingerling, and Princess Laratte potatoes.

The potatoes are smaller than the usual baking potatoes, with a slim shape, very much like a “finger.”  fingerling-potatoesThey cook up quicker, since they are smaller. I cut them into coins and roasted them as a side dish. My family liked the potatoes. The flavor was good, but I will probably purchase red potatoes if given the choice. I find the red potatoes more adaptable and I love having them baked.  I did enjoy trying a new type of potato. I’m of the opinion that they are no bad potato dishes.

If you’d like to learn more about the potatoes, you can visit the Mountain King website. They have an extensive list of recipes that utilize the fingerlings.

Adding Organic Foods to Your Diet in 5 Easy Steps

]]> Try Peanut Butter to Increase Your Organic IntakeThere’s a commonly held perception that eating organic is difficult and costly, but that’s not the case, especially if you make small changes here and there rather than a major, comprehensive dietary overhaul. New York Times health blogger Tara Parker-Pope lists these 5 foods as great places to start:

  1. Milk (I like Horizon)
  2. Potatoes
  3. Peanut butter
  4. Ketchup
  5. Apples
