Return to Sides index
↠ Dutch Oven Potatoes:
Description:  Dutch Oven Potatoes are a classic, hearty, and versatile side dish—often described as "comfort food on steroids"—that features potatoes, bacon, cheese, and aromatics, typically slow-cooked in a cast-iron pot. This dish is beloved for its "no-fuss" preparation, making it a staple for camping, potlucks, and family gatherings.

↠ Baked Idaho® Potato Salad:
Description:  Baked Idaho® Potato Salad is a rich, savory, and creamy side dish that reimagines a loaded baked potato as a cold or room-temperature salad. It typically features roasted or baked Idaho® potatoes (often Russets or reds) mixed with ingredients like crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and green onions or chives.

↠ Asparagus and Bacon:
Description:  Asparagus and bacon is a popular, savory side dish that combines tender-crisp roasted or sautéed asparagus with the smoky, salty crunch of bacon. Often described as a crowd-pleasing, "addictive" side, this dish is versatile, quick to prepare (usually under 30 minutes), and pairs well with steak, pork, or chicken.

↠ Apple Carrot Salad with Huckleberry Lemon Curd:
Description:  An Apple Carrot Salad with Huckleberry Lemon Curd is a vibrant, refreshing side dish that balances crisp textures with a tangy, sweet, and fruity flavor profile. It combines shredded or sliced apples—often left unpeeled for color—and shredded carrots with dried cherries or cranberries, all coated in a rich huckleberry lemon curd.

↠ Tennessee Onions:
Description:  Tennessee Onions are a rich, comforting Southern casserole-style side dish featuring thin-sliced sweet Vidalia onions layered with butter, spices, and a generous topping of melted cheeses—typically mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and parmesan. Baked until bubbly and golden, this savory, tangy dish is a popular, easy-to-make potluck favorite.
