Fresh Herb & Garlic Potato Stacks

Potato recipes can be boring. I have a couple go-to recipes, but no lie when I pulled these out of my oven it was love at first taste! In my opinion, they should be right up there with the most famous of potato sides like the French Fry or mashed potato… yeah, they are that good.

A little crispy on the outside and soft toward the middle, bursting with flavors of garlic, fresh parsley, and parmesan cheese…. amazing!

My 3-year-old is actually not a big fan of potatoes. I mean, come on! I know this won’t last forever and eventually, he will join the rest of America and our love for the potato.  He just looks down at his plate like “really?” “You want me to eat that?”

Well, this potato got the same look like the rest- he cleaned up his whole plate (including a big salad) and stated that he was “all done” I told him he had to take a bite and try it if he wanted to get up. He sat for a minute looking at it like it was liver and onions, I ignored him and continued with cleaning up. Out of the corner of my eye, I see him take a bite. I figured that would be the end of that and he would bring me his plate, but he ate bite after bite only leaving the top and bottom (I guess he like the softer ones) but, he ate it- anyone who has a toddler knows food can be challenging- but if we continue to give them real, good tasting food, they will come through. Everyone else in the house was on board, and if you try these, you will see why!
