Naughty Taters Food

GRILLED TATERS WITH ONION AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut six 12-inch square sheets of foil and place them on a baking sheet. Put one-sixth (about a cup) of the potato mixture in the center of each piece of foil. Fold the sides of the foil over the potatoes, covering them completely and sealing them into packets.
• Transfer to the grill and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

TASTY TATERS (AKA OVEN ROASTED POTATOES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Put potatoes, oil and soup mix in a plastic bag; close and shake until potatoes are coated.
• Put coated potatoes in a 13x9 inch pan; bake uncovered for 40 minutes until potatoes are golden brown.

PARMESAN TATERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the tater tots and the olive oil in a bowl. Toss to coat, spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the tater tots from the oven, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a mixing bowl. To the taters, add the garlic, parsley and cheese. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

NAUGHTY TATERS

Steps:

• Slice each baked potato in half lengthwise.
• Cube each baked potato widthwise and place each one on individual oven proof plates.
• Cook chicken cubes in 2 tbsp oil until no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Prepare chicken with taco seasoning according to package directions.
• Divide chicken among the 4 potatoes.
• Stir fry broccoli, onion and mushrooms in 2 tbsp oil, until tender-crisp.
• Divide among the 4 potatoes.
• Sprinkle each dish with cheese.
• Bake 350 F for 5 - 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Serve topped with sour cream or ranch dressing.

SOUL SWEET 'TATERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on the oven rack and bake until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. When the potatoes are finished cooking, let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Slice them open lengthwise and scrape out the flesh with a fork into a large bowl. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Add the granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and salt to the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Mash the mixture with a potato masher until combined and slightly lumpy-you don't want it to be perfectly smooth.
• Now, in a separate bowl, mash the brown sugar, pecans, flour and butter with a pastry cutter or fork until thoroughly combined. The mixture should resemble a crumble.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture in a 14-cup oval-shaped baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
