The other day I was scrambling to make dinner. I had steak and NOTHING else. So I opened my fridge to see what else I could cook up to complement the meal. My salvation? Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. Thank goodness I had them!
I know, hash browns for dinner. Why not? Potatoes are a great side dish and perfect with steak. I looked around the kitchen and found some jalapeno peppers, green peppers, cheese and onions. I decided to create a new recipe: Carolyn's Spicy Hash Browns.
I started by chopping the green peppers, onions and jalapeno and then sauteing them in a little oil. After they got a little soft, I added the potatoes and browned them up. I also added salt, pepper, chili powder and paprika to give it more spice.
In the meantime, I found some cherry tomatoes fresh from the garden and cilantro as well. I decided to make a little pico de gallo to put on the potatoes. Once the potatoes were browned, I served them with some grated cheddar cheese and the pico de gallo. They were delicious!

It was the perfect side dish to go along with the steak. This is why I always have Simply Potatoes in my fridge. They are the perfect product to make a quick and delicious meal. I use them for breakfast, lunch and, now, dinner. When I get home, I will always have a side dish if I use the Simply Potatoes products!
I love that the potatoes come cut and ready to use. I love that there are some many varieties to enjoy. Besides the shredded hash browns, I usually have the diced potatoes and onions and the home-style slices around. If you need a quick meal, these are perfect.
