Join the discussionThese look yummy! What did you serve with them to make a meal?
I’d probably make a creamy sauce and serve them with roasted dill carrots.
Are the calories published for each dish?
Only for the recipes on our Diet menu at this time.
We absolutely love these! We have them as part of a regular meal (potatoes, gravy, veg, etc.) or even on crusty bread as a sandwich with Ranch Dressing or tartar sauce and fries. Excellent!
Sharon – They are delish aren’t they? So glad they are making a regular appearance on your table and thanks for sharing your serving ideas!
My toddler loves these… making another batch tonight! Sometimes we add a dollop of sour cream when serving.
Of course – sour cream on the top! Delish!
These were great! I made a herbed cream sauce to top them! Even my 5 year old loved then!Thanks!
Oh YUM! That sauce sounds delicious!
Has anyone ever baked them in the oven to speed up the bulk cooking??
We haven’t in our kitchens, but I think it would work just fine. You just might not get that same crisp you get from the pan. Let us know if you try!
