*The round Parisian potatoes would be very nice on the plate with the rest of the meal, any meal.Carrots would give your plate colour and could be cooked at the same time and the same way.They would be easy if just roasted in large aluminium pans in the oven. Season with salt &pepper and garlic and onion powder. Make sure they brown a little.
*You might want baked potatoes, also easy just bake in oven, corralled in a foil pan. Wrap your potatoes each in foil and bake. Serve with meal and have butter and sour cream at each table to use with the potatoes.
*Scalloped potatoes, great tasting and here is a recipe, a little more work initially.
