I find the best crispy potatoes are boiled first and then baked with a delicious dressing. This makes the inside fluffy and soft, with a crunchy exterior that packs a flavor punch!

A classic combo…
Corn Bruschetta
Bruschetta’s only rule is that you have a crispy layer of olive-oil-doused bread as a vehicle for something yummy. Today it’s corn and cherry tomatoes!
