This year may look a little different for all of us. Whether we’re working or learning from home or socially distancing in the workplace or the classroom, everyone is adjusting to new schedules for the new school year. But while the easy solution for dinner in the middle of these busy schedules might be to just order a pizza, there’s a better option! Nutritious produce like potatoes can give you and your family the energy to get through the day.
Power up with potatoes!
Potatoes are loaded with essential nutrients like potassium and Vitamin C and B6. They balance proteins, fats, and water but are still fat- and cholesterol-free. And with both simple and complex carbohydrates, they contain plenty of energy to fuel your family!

Wada Farms baby red potatoes give this dish a hearty base alongside onions and baby carrots. Sausage provides a boost of protein and a bit of spice.

FEEDBACK: These potatoes are becoming hard to find in southern Calif. Where can I fid them? Also, there is no zip strip to open the hot potato, how do I easily open them without burning my fingers?
LOVE the sheet pan recipes.
I would suggest talking to someone in your local produce department to request them. I sometimes use a towel to help hold my potato when I’m opening it up.
