September is National Potato Month! As we bid adieu to the summertime, we welcome in the fall season with a celebration of all things potato, po-tah-toe. With Americans consuming over 17 million tons of potatoes each year, we can certainly say that it’s one the USA’s most popular vegetables. From french fries to hash browns, mashed potatoes to baked potatoes and more, it’s no wonder the almighty spud has earned its beloved reputation in flavor and versatility. With so many choices of potato recipes to highlight in this week’s blog post, we decided to go with a commemoration of the most important meal of the day–a Dutch Yellow® Potato Breakfast Skillet. Now, this recipe may sound simple but these aren’t your average breakfast potatoes. Dutch Yellow® Potatoes take things to a whole new level with their incredibly buttery flavor and creamy texture. Top things off with a sunny side up egg and you have yourself a breakfast dish you’ll want to be starting the morning with all season long.
Melissa’s bestselling Dutch Yellow® Potatoes are truly the quintessential everyday potato. They can be recognized by their petite size and distinct yellowish-white skins. Their flavor is light and subtle, making them incredibly versatile for a wide variety of recipes. Unlike Russet potatoes which turn fluffy once cooked, DYPs® are known to hold their density and shape nicely during the cooking process and can be simply roasted with butter and herbs for a tasty, crispy-skinned side dish. You can also turn them into creamy mashed potatoes, but leave the skin on for added flavor and nutrients.
