You learn a lot about people when you share a house with them. Since last June, my husband and I have been living with his parents, and I’ve discovered three things they love:

Family. They devote their time to babysitting, cooking meals for family, and otherwise making their kids’ lives easier.
Sales at a certain department store. Between markdowns, coupons, a store credit card, and the store’s rewards program, my mother-in-law somehow manages to walk out of the store with a year’s wardrobe at about 95% off the original price.
Meals that involve potatoes. Whether the potatoes are mashed, roasted, hash browns or french fries, side dishes with this ingredient are sure to please in this family.

Heaven only knows what people would say I love. Most likely coffee, my husband and staring at computer screens.

But since I do know that my in-laws love potatoes, I was happy to find many apt recipes on the Wolff’s site. We’ve got:

Leek Soup with Potato & Tomato

Parmesan Roasted Broccoli Carrots & Potato

Gratin Dauphinois (French Scalloped Potatoes)

If your family loves spuds too, be sure to try these Philly Cheese Steak Baked Potatoes from our friends at Lone Star Farm!

With potatoes in mind, I recently tried a new recipe I discovered on the Wolff’s site: Garlic Roasted Potatoes & Asparagus. It’s delicious, and so easy! I also love that it incorporates in-season asparagus. The more veggies you can work into a recipe, the better!
