No More “FOUP” with Tasteful Selections Potatoes {Baked Potatoes With Bacon & Peppers Recipe}

Disclosure:  I received compensation in exchange for creating and sharing my honest opinion and this recipe.

Potatoes to me are such a versatile food.  They can be boiled, mashed, baked, grilled, roasted, diced, you name it you can pretty much do it.  Well Tasteful Selections are a brand of potatoes that come in several varieties perfect for whatever your need may be.  They also help with fear of FOUP.

 Features of Tasteful Selections:

• Pre-washed, ready-to-cook with no scrubbing
• Tender skins so you don’t need to peel them first
• Small and consistent in size so potatoes cook quickly and evenly
• Several varieties such as Honey Gold (buttery and sweet), Ruby Sensation (light and fresh) and  Sunrise Medley (sweet and nutty)

I love potatoes, probably too much, but honestly I hate cooking them.  They take forever to peel, they don’t seem to cook evenly and I usually need to dice them up to eat them.  I also don’t usually buy potatoes because they are usually sold in those giant 5-10 lb. bags and I don’t need that many potatoes.  I like convenient, affordable, high quality potatoes and Tasteful Selections has made it easy for my husband and I to not only enjoy potatoes but eat them more regularly!

Baked Potatoes With Bacon & Peppers with Tasteful Selections Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1 whole bag of Tasteful Selections Potatoes (any variety)
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 whole peppers
• 1 cup bacon (I used the bags of fresh bacon bits)
• 1/2 onion
• Olive oil

Directions:

• Toss the potatoes in a baking dish with some olive oil (I put them in a bowl first but why dirty up extra dishes! Also, what’s great about Tasteful Selections Potatoes is they are pre-washed so they are ready to go!)
• Then add everything else (minced garlic, peppers, onions, bacon)
• Cook for 20 minutes at 425, midway stir it up so they cook evenly

Notes:  As will all my recipes, feel free to modify them according to your tastes.  Want more bacon?  Then add some!  Don’t like garlic?  Skip it!
