There are so many different options when it comes to potato sides and I always feel like I can find a good fit for any meal.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I\u2019m a huge red skinned smashed potato fan. I could literally make a meal out of those! In fact, there have been times when I\u2019ve boiled up a potato or two and mashed it with a little butter, sour cream, milk and garlic powder to have for a quick lunch. It\u2019s just SO good!<\/p>\n<p>The only issue I have with potatoes is that they\u2019re not always the easiest to freeze. Their consistency and quality can really decrease sometimes. The only potato dish that I\u2019ve had any success with freezing has been mashed potatoes. Until now that is.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, these Cheesy Potato Bites are just a mashed potato spin-off, but they\u2019re different enough that my family won\u2019t make fun of me for serving mashed potatoes again! \u00a0They freeze wonderfully, making them a great substitute for convenience frozen potato products. (Although we won\u2019t tell my husband that. He would be so sad to hear that the occasional tater tot splurge was no longer in our future.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-6448\"
