Summer = grilling. It is ridiculously hot across most of the country and one way to keep the house cooled down is to grill outside. I am a huge fan of grilled chicken, steak and ribs, which can all be easily prepped inside and grilled outside. But what about sides? To avoid heating up the house, I have been using Simply Potatoes side dishes!

Normally making mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes involves peeling potatoes, boiling water/potatoes and heating up the kitchen. With these side dishes, I can have potatoes on the table to go with our grilled items in less than 10 minutes. All of the gluten-free Simply Potatoes products are clearly labeled “gluten-free” on the back. The sweet potatoes were the perfect complement to BBQ Baby Back Ribs! The kids loved the traditional mashed potatoes “loaded”. Here is a picture of the most recent pairing along with gluten-free Chicken Fingers.
The Simply Potatoes website has many great recipes (not all of the recipes are gluten-free), including the ones listed below:
Traditional
Sweet Potatoes
Diced Potatoes with Onion
