One thing you\u2019ll always <\/em>find in my pantry? Potatoes. They\u2019re hands down one of the most versatile ingredients you can use in the kitchen. I make them for breakfast (have you tried my sweet potato breakfast hash<\/a> I shared over a decade ago- that’s crazy?), and they\u2019re a go-to side dish for lunch and dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But my favorite thing about potatoes has to be how nutritious they are<\/a>. I know this may be surprising given how often people talk about the high carb content. But the truth is, we need complex carbs! They give us lasting energy, promote better blood sugar control, and aid in digestion. They\u2019re also loaded with potassium, a solid source of vitamin C, and are packed with fiber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I know there\u2019s a huge reason why parents avoid making potato-based dishes: prep and cook time. We\u2019ve all pulled up a baked potato recipe, seen \u201c45 minutes\u201d in the instructions, and sighed. But here\u2019s the good news\u2014there are plenty of potato recipes that are quick, nutritious, and just as delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I\u2019m sharing my favorite quick potato recipes you can whip up on a weeknight, bring to a BBQ, or prep ahead for the week. <\/p>\n\n\n

Quick Meals With Potatoes: Easy Recipes for Busy Weeknights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veggie Potato Hash Bowl<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This Veggie Potato Hash Bowl is cozy, hearty, and full of flavor. It has crispy golden potatoes, sweet pops of pepper, earthy greens, and just a hint of smoky paprika. It\u2019s one of my favorite quick potato meals (and makes a great breakfast!) because it all comes together in a single skillet. Use pre-cooked or microwaved potatoes, toss in your veggies, add egg or tofu for protein, and you\u2019ve got a balanced, filling meal in under 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s not just tasty\u2014it\u2019s packed with nutrition, too. Eggs or tofu give it a protein boost while the veggies add fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins for long-lasting energy. Basically, it\u2019s a complete meal that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
