Truffle Cheese Fondue Little Potatoes

Truffle Cheese Fondue Little Potatoes

There is a new little potato in town from the rugged and fertile land of the Chilean Andes and they are called Chilean Splash. A new, rich, and lively potato from The Little Potato Company. These little guys have some great plate appeal with their fun purple color on half of the potato.

They have a silky cream skin with a luscious inner texture. The uniqueness though is their fun purple “splash” of color that is guaranteed to heighten your senses. I have been indulging in a little poutine of late but I wanted to take these potatoes to a whole new level with Truffle Cheese Fondue Little Potatoes.

This appetizer is quick and easy and is made in the time that the Chilean Splash takes to boil, which is 15 min. While they cook, a quick fondue is created and then the little guys are sliced in half and drizzled with a wonderful cheese fondue with a hint of truffle oil. Magnificent I say, and so does my family!!

See the fun half purple, half yellow of these great little potatoes. They are not only beautiful but they are a great source of potassium and fiber. They also come pre-washed and require no peeling!! Gotta love how easy that is!!

Ooey gooey cheesy potatoes will have everyone wanting more of these little guys. They make an appetizer that has the wow factor, that your family and friends will be loving for the holidays!!

These were a delicious indulgence and could also be served as a side with a great steak dinner but I love them as a new appetizer, one that I know will be a sure hit. I only added a small amount of truffle oil so as not to be overpowering, it just adds that right flavor without being in the forefront.

Grab some of these new little potatoes, they are on store shelves starting November 30, 2015.
