Simply Potaotes - Simply Delicious!

I love Potatoes! Fried Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Potato Salad, Baked Potatoes... well you get the idea! The only problem I have with potatoes is there's some work involved to make them yummy!

Enter Simply Potatoes! They take a lot of the work out, and leave you with yummy potatoes! I love Simply Pototoes because that's what they are... potatoes. Not instant, not fake, simply potatoes!

They have lots of different products like Southwest Style Hashbrowns, Sour Cream and Chives Mashed Potatoes, Diced Potatoes with Onion, Red Potato Wedges, and Macaroni and Cheese to name just a few.

We tried the Diced Potatoes with Onion. I had big plans to make potato salad, but when I opened the package to get started, my kids saw the potatoes and immediately wanted friend potatoes. So, I made Fried Potatoes.

I just dumped them into the fry pan, added a little oil, and voila!

It was so incredibly easy, and so incredibly delicious! We paired it with grilled chicken and corn on the cob! What a feast!

Simply Potatoes has some great recipes. Here's one I'm trying next:

1 can (2 1/4 ounces) sliced black olives
