Potato bar

I am so tired of my kids NOT eating potatoes that I decided to give them a positive potato experience...

Tonight we had a potato bar: baked potatoes, and then toppings of all kinds. The kids could put whatever they wanted on the potatoes (and I was surprised they actually did a decent job loading up - some had more toppings than potato, but I just wanted them to have a happy potato experience...!)
We had pepperoni, ham, cheese, sour cream, Chick-Fil-A sauce, ranch, peas, broccoli, corn, and even some random leftovers to use on our potatoes.
I also had some homemade bread (see recipe for sabotage bread...) to stuff everyone's faces AFTER the potatoes were gone.

THEY DID GREAT!!! Almost everyone said "This is so yummy!" after one bite of their specialized potato.

Just thought I'd share an easy dinner success!

I just might have to try that seeing as our kids seem to share your kids dislike for potatoes.
