For those of us who love winter, every day when the air is crisp and there’s snow on the ground, it’s a holiday! And holidays always provide the perfect excuse to indulge in our favorite comfort foods like Idaho® potatoes. Let’s start with dessert! Yes, potatoes are a great dessert ingredient because of their high starch content. When the starch granules in spuds are baked, they swell up with moisture giving foods like Idaho® Potato Holiday Cookies a soft, tender texture that will stay that way for several days longer than the average cookie. Then after you’ve munched on a cookie or two, it’s time to dive into dinner! Potato pancakes, also known as latkes are very popular during the holiday months. This traditional side dish can be made with fresh or frozen potatoes and topped with just about anything you’ve got in the refrigerator -- sour cream, jam, lox, yogurt and even chocolate!
