Catfish Out of Water

Every now and then I get in the mood for potatoes. Plus, I shop at Costco. So, getting a hankering for something that comes in bulk means that it's a dash to eat all of the potatoes before they start growing spuds! (Which you can plant to grow more potatoes). This means that I continuously have to come up with new and interesting ways to utilize potatoes. As much as I'll eat mashed potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Sometimes I want to mix it up a little bit. Thus week I've started baking them with cheese to make Mashed Potatoes w/ Green Cauliflower & Cheddar. Today, I decided to toss an egg on these Eggs and Mashed Potatoes. I'll also make a lot of Potato Bakes, if you're into something more casserole-like. This is a great way to utilize leftover mashed potatoes after the holidays or whenever you're in the mood for breakfast mashed potatoes!

Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite things to make. They're quick and easy to toss together and a great way to utilize a big bushels of potatoes. You can bake them without the egg or mix in any number of ingredients. I like to add in Greek yogurt, chives, and even tried some pickles, which was delicious! Although sour cream, garlic, onion, jalapeños, rosemary, parsley, basil, cream cheese, curry powder, and any of your favorite additional seasonings.
