A Side Of Awesome

In Recipes by Steven JohnLeave a Comment

We’re proud of each and every food we here at Zaycon Fresh offer for a simple reason: you lovely folks seem to love ’em all! But of course even the best of us tend to play favorites, and there’s simply no denying that some of our foods are fan favorites.

And as it turns out, we have several of our all-time Best Sellers for sale right now. Currently available for ordering is that beloved Premium Hickory Smoked Bacon, our Breaded Chicken Breast Fritters, and that superlative 93/7 Lean Ground Beef.

Now, any of those products can anchor a meal (we’re thinking… breakfast, lunch, and dinner in that order? Sound about right?), but those eats alone don’t exactly make a meal. So… what goes perfectly with most any meat?

Potatoes, of course.

And beyond the taste factor, if you don’t want to spend a long time prepping your sides, potatoes can be a good choice, too. We’ve found three super simple potato recipes that will pair perfectly with the best sellers mentioned above. Cook ’em up, then dig in!
