dinner on the grill / grilled zucchini, kielbasa and the little potato company
September 6th, 2012Mary, productsmary 6 Comments

I recently got another product to review: baby potatoes from The Little Potato Company! I love potatoes and these little baby ones were so cute that I was pretty excited to get a batch of them to try out.

I was given a bag of the “Terrific Trio” and the “Baby Boomer” potatoes for sampling. Featured here in my recipes are the Baby Boomer potatoes.

How cute are these little baby potatoes?! I could just eat them right up… oh wait. I am! (Bad joke, I know.)

The baby potatoes don’t need to be peeled and don’t really even need to be chopped up. They’re the perfect size for cooking “as is” – whether you decide to roast, boil, smash, grill or bake.

I was feeling kind of lazy that day… so after a quick rinse, I threw this babies into a pot of salted water and set them to boil for some lightly smashed potatoes.

Along with the potatoes I cut up some zucchini from my dad’s garden – we were overflowing in the zucchini this summer and I decided to grill these up. A quick drizzle of olive oil and a dusting of salt and pepper and these veggies were ready for the grill.

Along with the veggies, I grilled up some kielbasa that my dad had brought back from a trip to Massachusetts. Fully cooked, they just needed a small amount of time on the grill to get heated up with some grilling marks.

This was probably one of the quickest dinners ever.

I barely mashed these baby potatoes – I kept it on the chunky side with a little milk and a few pats of butter. Plenty of salt and pepper, too!

The potatoes turned out to be so creamy! I’ve found that sometimes you need to add a lot of stuff to make the potatoes taste a bit better but not these. I don’t think I’ve had potatoes so creamy before – I was quite impressed! It reminded me a bit of Yukon Gold potatoes but in a tinier form.

Dinner is served! The perfect meal for a warm summer’s night.

This last photo has nothing to do with the food, but it was too cute not to share. She managed to use two stools! I mean, you always need at least one stool for your head, right?

The Little Potato Company offers up a variety of little potatoes hailing from Canada. These little goodies are available at Vons supermarkets in the greater San Diego area.

My name is Mary. I love: peanut butter, cookies, warm cupcakes, puppy noses, star gazing, new bags of sugar, sprinkles, cupcake wrappers, egg rolls, eating french fries with ice cream, driving with the windows down, snuggling, wes anderson movies, staying up too late reading a good book and Jake. These are my adventures in all things food. Hope you enjoy the ride.
