Fast Friday - DIY Steam Bags

I love my local farmers market! I don't know about you but I have a local farmer who is organic and when we stopped in last Wednesday they had both pears and potatoes. Around here organic potatoes are hard to find so I bought a box of them. A few weeks ago there was a post on Facebook that was a link to make your own freezer bag potatoes. The link that was posted was this one and I followed the instructions given but with organic potatoes! I am so excited to try these come winter when it is even harder to find organic potatoes.When you go to use them just poke a vent hole in the bag when you warm them.

Steam Bag Potatoes
What you need:

potatoes (organic if possible)
Seal a Meal (or another similar system)

Directions:

Yes, Caden helped me take the picture.

Peel, cube and boil till almost done. You want to be able to stick a fork into them but still holding their shape. Drain and let cool so it is easier to bag. Place desired amount of potatoes in bag depending on how big of serving you want. I did both large and small bags for just family and holiday meals. Label and freeze for later!

Fast Friday

This is a real fast idea that I use often when I have a fridge full of leftovers or I don't feel like cooking much. You start with a simple baked potato and then you clean out your fridge. Here are some ideas that we have done in the past month.
Taco Potatoes
- left over taco meat
- re-fried beans (make sure it is gluten free)
- sour cream
- left over pico de gieo
- avocado
- salsa
- cheese (nondairy of course)
Or anything else that is left over from having tacos. This is also an easy fix if you have taco meat in the freezer that you need to use.

BBQ Potatoes
This is one of my favorites because I add the BBQ sauce to my potato also.
- Any BBQ meat
- onion
- extra BBQ sauce

Chili Potatoes
- chili
- onion
- cheese (nondairy again)
- extra beans

Loaded Potatoes
This is where you let your imagination go wild and put what you need to use up on your potato.

So, what is your favorite topping for the humble potato?
