Killer App: Red Potatoes With Tomato-Avocado Salsa

Not so long ago, I fell in love with mini twice-baked potatoes.


Not so long ago, I fell in love with mini twice-baked potatoes. Naturally, I just had to try another recipe for a bite-size potato; this time I made potatoes topped with tomato-avocado salsa. These potatoes are less labor intensive, but just as delicious. The potatoes are roasted until they're browned and a little crunchy, then topped with the fresh salsa and a dollop of a sour cream.

My guests enjoyed them both warm and at room temperature, so don't worry about serving them right away. Short on time? Pick up prepackaged salsa and guacamole; you only have to roast and assemble. With Summer right around the corner, these small spuds are great for a potluck party or barbecue — no one is able to resist them! Get this easy vegetarian appetizer recipe by reading more.

Savory Sight: Chicken Pot Pie

Is the weather not feeling like Summer yet?

Is the weather not feeling like Summer yet? Then follow in the footsteps of 2savorypalates and dig into chicken pot pie.
This is a classic example of comfort food at its finest. With Spring here but cooler temps still lingering about, this dish is perfect for the weather — rain or shine. We took the classic pot pie and varied it according to our liking (and what veggies we had on hand) and came up with 2 perfect pies. One classic rendition with a traditional buttery crust, and one deconstructed version with buttermilk biscuits in place of crust.

Take a look at their blog for the recipe. Still hungry? Then check out the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community. Upload your drool-worthy pics, and you may be featured here, too!
