Veggie loaded potato rounds with melted cheese. Perfect for Memorial Day and July 4th recipes. Made with fresh vegetables. Serve at game day parties
I love going to parties where the host has gone out of their way to include a vegetarian menu item. Those are my favorite types of hosts.
Last year, I came across a host who had about ten items on the table for vegetarians and vegans. I told her that hers was, hands down, the best BBQ party I have been too.
Believe me, it is not hard to please a vegetarian because we will eat everything that is not made from an animal.
See how simple we make it to please us?
Today’s recipe is all about pleasing the vegetarians and the meat lovers alike.
Everyone loves a good loaded potato, even if it is a sweet potato. Even stacked potato with cheese is a family favorite too.
P/S: check out my 5 tips to bake the perfect sweet potato recipe.
These potato rounds are loaded with all kinds of vegetables because it is more fun this way.
Corn is my favorite part of this recipe. I love how delicious it tastes on potato rounds
If you are feeling more adventurous, top them with a really nice hot sauce or sriracha.
The potato rounds work great as finger foods or even appetizers. It is also a fun way to get children to eat their veggies. I don’t know of any kid who loves to eat an eggplant, but, they devour this potato rounds.
I made a huge batch of these potato rounds but only managed to photograph a few of them. Most of them were gobbled up by me and friends who happened to have invited themselves over.
That is what I get for telling people my recipe ideas before hand.
What is your favorite recipe to make for memorial day weekend?

Dee Dee (My Midlife Kitchen) says
I love that these can be appetizers, a side dish, or even a full meal if you use larger potatoes! What a great and fun way to get folks to eat their veggies while thinking it’s a splurge (cheese will do that!). Thanks for a great idea for an upcoming potluck!
Healing Tomato says
Thank you, Dee Dee.
Angela / Only Crumbs Remain says
These Look really yummy, so full of colour and flavour. When I go to a party where there is a mixture of meat & vegetarian foods, I like to see labels on the vegetarian foods (just a ‘V’) because sometimes it’s not always obvious – such as dishes which include cheese or pesto. Call me fussy. 🙂 Popped over from Try a Bite Tuesday

These look awesome! The last pasta salad I made half vegetarian, half with bacon. I didn’t eat meat for about a year & family had such a hard time leaving meat off stuff for me. It’s really not hard!
