Potato Side Dishes

Coucou,

We know that potatoes can be cooked in many different ways and all of them are delicious. If rice or noodles in Asia is a main dish and also an essential part of culture but here, people eat more potatoes as a side dish most of the time. I personally eat both rice and potatoes but not too much potato or too often.

I had a few potato recipes here and these potatoes looks great and perfect side dish.
