This Roasted Pepper and Ricotta Cheese Bruschetta is SHOCKINGLY DELICIOUS! There’s a smokey sweetness to every bite that just melts in your mouth with the nice crispy crunch of a toasted French Baguette. If that doesn’t convince you to try this recipe, then check out my Tomato and Basil Bruschetta recipe or my Broccoli and Cheese Dip listed below.
These Garlic Mashed Potatoes are awesome, simple as that. And I can go on about it for several reasons. But first, know that most mashed potato recipes are very similar if not exactly the same. So, how are you going to reinvent something that cooks think they have already perfected? The answer is simple. Just think Potato. There are so many different kinds of potatoes, plus many ways to cook potatoes. So all you have to do is go back to the basics, keep it simple yet powerful.
My Mashed Potatoes Secret Ingredient
For me, I love potato chips. One in particular, in fact, Potato Skins. That’s one of the reasons I leave my skins on in this Mashed Potatoes recipe; that and the nutrient factor, of course. Also, when I eat chips or a baked potato, I usually have Sour Cream. Now, there isn’t Sour Cream in this recipe but most recipes use milk, half and half or cream. But why hasn’t anyone tried to use Buttermilk? It’s sweet and sour, just like sour cream, and most folks like it with their baked potato. Believe it or not, it is the perfect balance; that and the other ingredients I’ve added down below. Anyway, these potatoes are great anytime but I think they’re even better around the Holidays. So give this a try and don’t forget to leave your comments.

Marinated and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes can be spendy, about a dollar per oz, that’s why I’m showing you how to make them yourself for 1/3 the cost. These are excellent in salads, sandwiches and in pasta. So if you’re interested in saving some money and treating yourself to one of life’s delicacies, try this recipe. I use them in my Waffle Iron Grilled cheese video recipe and my Portobello Caprese with Balsamic Glaze.
Uses for Cherry Roasted Tomatoes
Roasted Tomatoes are great in so many different recipes because they add that rich smokey flavor we all love from great barbecue. Other than the occasional sandwich, these make a great addition to salads, both green or pasta. Cold noodle salads are incredible with Roasted Tomatoes in them and other ingredients like pickled artichoke hearts and black olives. I love them in green salads that are light on the dressing and, again, heavy with pickled ingredients; Manzanilla Olives, Capers and Pepperonchini Peppers etc.. One of my absolute favorite ways to eat Cherry Roasted Tomatoes, though, is with cured meats, Crackers and Cheese.
