It’s Friday!! That means we can relax, think about sleeping in the next day and what good stuff to eat tonight! In our house, we keep it simple on Fridays; either we eat leftovers, grab pizza or make a bunch of fun foods for our movie nights. And even though I cook for a living, its nice to have a break from the kitchen and just normal routines on the weekends!
As a matter of fact, speaking of a break from routines, I wanted to share this 1-Pan recipe with you today because it is super easy, delicous and so much fun to make for your Friday nights! This is a definite winner in my home and hardly any leftovers for the next day!
My recipe of 1-Pan Mexican Potatoes combines the delicious flavor of seasoned up potatoes with a hearty mexican salad and guacamole on top. It is a loaded up explosion of flavor in your mouth, and can be made in the same pan. No need for extra pots and pans for this recipe, which for me, is a no-brainer! I really think you will love the taste of these cheesy potatoes and won’t want to share!
