You\u2019ve got a 28-ounce bag of already-roasted potatoes ready to heat and eat at any time. The back-of-the-bag instructions include pan frying\u2014just 10 to 12 minutes in a large skillet\u2014but I love throwing the spuds in the air fryer. I toss them with about two tablespoons of olive oil, season them with salt, and air fry at 375\u00b0F for 10 minutes.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I make these often as a side to a slow weekend brunch (think pancakes and bacon and fresh fruit), but they are also a brilliant building block for other breakfasts. Pan -ry them and top with whisked eggs to make a hearty frittata, wrap them up with scrambled eggs and cheese for freezer-friendly breakfast burritos, or toss with a tofu scramble for a really filling vegan breakfast.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Potatoes O\u2019Brien can do double duty as a dinner side, too. I recently served them alongside grilled pork tenderloin and a big salad. You could toss them on a sheet pan and top with seasoned chicken thighs or add them to a pot of creamy chickpea curry.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> ALDI\u2019s Potatoes O&#8217;Brien with Onions &amp; Peppers are unseasoned, making them a blank canvas for whatever flavors you\u2019re craving. My go-to seasonings for breakfast potatoes are always paprika, garlic and onion powders, and plenty of kosher salt, but taco seasoning or garam masala would add lovely warm spices to this staple.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Other brands sell frozen Potatoes O\u2019Brien, but at twice the price for the same volume, I\u2019ll be skipping any other varieties and heading straight to ALDI\u2019s freezer section for these every time.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <sub><em>To learn more about our approach to product recommendations, see HERE.<\/em><\/sub>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#ALDI #Freezer #Find #Stocking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping my freezer stocked with frozen vegetables and some meal shortcuts makes cooking family meals so much easier, which is how I fell in love with ALDI\u2019s Potatoes O&#8217;Brien with Onions &amp; Peppers.
