Oven Roasted Idaho® Potatoes with Herbed Pecans 

After one bite of Oven Roasted Idaho® Potatoes with Herbed Pecans you'll be ready to embrace the fall and all its spectacularly warm colors and flavors. A variety of Idaho® russet, purple and red potatoes are tossed with toasted pecans that have been seasoned with butter, brown sugar, cayenne and rosemary making for an unforgettable side dish. The cayenne pepper gives these taters a kick of heat, creating a sweet and spicy medley of flavors. Make sure to lay the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them until they develop a nice, golden color.

Cheese Stuffed Idaho® Potato Balls 

It doesn’t get any better than Cheese Stuffed Idaho® Potato Balls from food blogger, Love Keil at Munchkin Time. Boiled, peeled and grated Idaho® potatoes are mixed with eggs, pieces of bacon, spinach and seasoned with black pepper, salt and garlic powder to form a potato “dough”. Using a small ice cream scoop place one scoop of mashed potato mixture into your hand, top with a cheese cube and then add another scoop of potato mixture on top. Shape into a ball and roll in panko bread crumbs before deep frying. Serve with a dipping sauce and dive in!
