I must say that in my old age I enjoy the food and company that comes with the Superbowl more than the football game itself, ya here me on that ladies? While I do get into the games if the score is super tight, I get more hyped up about the food, and that is why I made this little app a couple weeks ago. I parboiled some yukon gold potatoes for about 15 minutes, let them cool, and baked them while wrapped in some thinly sliced pancetta. The potatoes got nice and golden while the pancetta got super crispy! Yum and yummier!
This appetizer perfect for the big game and the greek yogurt dip is loaded with fresh herbs and green onions. It tastes like eating a deconstructed potato skin minus the cheese and fattening sour cream. What’s a football Superbowl Sunday without gorging yourself with finger foods and dips galore? Can’t wait to celebrate Superbowl 2014 with our friends and OD on some serious finger foods!
