Idaho Favorite Entrees


Return to Entrees index
↠ Idaho Finger Steaks:
Description:  Idaho finger steaks are a regional, tavern-style dish consisting of tenderized steak strips (usually sirloin or tenderloin) battered, breaded, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Originating in Boise in the 1950s, this savory, crunchy, bite-sized appetizer is traditionally served with cocktail sauce, ranch, or fry sauce.

↠ Idaho Casserole:
Description:  Twice Baked Potato Casserole An Idaho Casserole is a savory, comfort-food entree or side dish, primarily featuring sliced, diced, or mashed Idaho potatoes combined with creamy sauces, cheddar cheese, bacon, and onions. It is a hearty, oven-baked dish that often includes sour cream, chicken, or ground beef for added protein.

↠ Salmon and Shiitake Potato Hash:
Description:  A Salmon and Shiitake Potato Hash is a hearty, savory, and rustic entree featuring pan-seared or flaked salmon—often smoked—combined with crispy, diced potatoes and earthy shiitake mushrooms. It is designed as a filling, one-pan meal that balances the rich, high-fat content of the salmon with the tender-crisp texture of the vegetables.

↠ Shepherd’s Pie with Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
Description:  A savory and comforting casserole, Shepherd’s Pie with Garlic Mashed Potatoes features a rich, saucy base of ground lamb or beef, onions, carrots, and peas simmered in a savory gravy. This hearty meat mixture is topped with a generous layer of creamy, whipped potatoes enhanced with garlic, butter, and sometimes parmesan cheese. The entire dish is baked until the filling is bubbling and the potatoes form a golden-brown crust.

↠ Dutch Oven Chicken Cordon Bleu:
Description:  Tender, juicy chicken breasts—either thinly pounded and rolled or butterflied—are stuffed with savory layers of ham (such as Black Forest) and gooey Swiss or pepper jack cheese. The chicken is typically seared to a golden brown in butter, often coated in panko breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch, and then slow-baked in the Dutch oven. The dish is frequently smothered in a rich, creamy sauce made from Dijon mustard, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese, leaving the chicken incredibly moist and flavorful.
