Yeah, I don't see myself not going the potatoes route...but you're right, I'd like to dress it up a little. I've got Yukon golds and fingerlings right now. I don't think either are suitable for hasselbacks. Maybe Yukon gold, but I'm afraid the skin won't give a nice crisp outer shell, like a Russet would. Potatoes Romanoff, on the other hand, would be good with Yukons. Fingerlings could be added too, for a nice earthy flavor. I'll probably go that route or just make twice-baked potatoes. Or garlic mashed potatoes. The cauliflower idea is also nice. Haven't done that in years. Maybe I'll do both! I've also got a nice Caprese salad in mind. Have just enough fresh cherry tomatoes for it. Tons of basil. Just need to get mozzarella cheese, and steaks, and I'm all set.
Thanks for the recommendations!
