create recipes, I jumped all over it!&#160; Breakfast for dinner is usually on our menu at least once per week and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplypotatoes.com\/products\/productview.cfm?prid=34\" target=\"_blank\">hash browns<\/a> would be the perfect addition.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed about the Simply Potatoes packaging was the clear labeling:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/016-640x4271.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none;

I immediately began to brainstorm what our dinner would include.&#160; Eggs, these hash browns, turkey bacon and some fruit.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Jon prefers his eggs scrambled with cheese.&#160; He also likes cheese on his potatoes, so I topped the hash browns with shredded cheddar once they were cooked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/018-640x427.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none;

She is also a huge fan of cheese, so her hash browns received a generous portion of cheddar, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/021-640x4271.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none;

I piled my hash browns in a bowl and topped with chopped turkey bacon, red kidney beans (leftover that I needed to use up) and a fried egg.&#160; Now that I see this I realize I should have added some avocado!&#160; Darn!&#160; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/023-640x427.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px;

simply (just like the name suggests).&#160; I followed the directions on the package which suggested adding a tablespoon of oil to the pan and then cooking on each side for 6-8 minutes.&#160; While I prefer to cook with whole foods, this would be a nice shortcut if I were in a hurry.&#160; We all enjoyed these potatoes \u2013 breakfast is always a hit on our house!<\/p>\n<p>We also sampled the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplypotatoes.com\/products\/productview.cfm?prid=31\" target=\"_blank\">Garlic Mashed Potatoes<\/a> with our rotisserie chicken.&#160; The potatoes were good, but nothing can top Aaron\u2019s garlic mash!&#160; Again, nice (and gluten-free) if you are in a hurry.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>All of the potato products are gluten-free.&#160; The mac &amp; cheese side dish is <strong>not gluten-free<\/strong>.&#160; Per the website:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplypotatoes.com\/faq\/#p7APMc1_14\">Are your products gluten free?<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>All Simply Potatoes\u00ae mashed and cut varieties have been confirmed to be gluten free.
