A Newfangled PotatOH!

As I meandered through the supermarket, I stumbled upon individually-wrapped potatOHs! which claimed they needed to be microwaved for 7-8 minutes and then would be ready to eat. Intrigued, I purchased one and placed it on a plate in my microwave for 5 minutes. After a few minutes, I noticed a peculiar smell and realized that a plastic plate should not have been placed in the microwave because it melted and really stunk up my apartment. Nevertheless, I switched dishware and discovered that the potatOH! tasted just as good as a regular ole baked potato. I’m intrigued, though I do feel like I am somehow cheating on normal potatoes now…

Alexia Olive Oil/Rosemary/Garlic Oven Fries

Some people think potatoes are boring but I think some people are wrong. These oven fries don’t taste processed/prepared at all. In other words, people could totally believe that you made them yourself. They took about 15 minutes to cook in my oven. My only complaint was that the potatoes were kind of dry; next time I’ll try cooking them with a light sauce or with the main dish.

Price: grrr can’t find my receipt..$3ish?
