We all have days that we actually don't have much time for cooking and still want to enjoy a healthy supper.
Cubing the cold boiled potatoes and with olive oil, to which I added some real unsalted butter, I did fry them.
Adding some shredded rice cheese at the last minute.
- It is the time of new red Russet potatoes so I did boil them in the skin and let them cool.
- Meanwhile I did slice up an entire English cucumber (bought with 3 in a pack at Costco Wholesale) and made a dressing using part reduced fat mayonnaise from Trader Joe's (picture is below) with some brown natural Dutch vinegar (use any type you will have) and Italian seasoning.
- If you do have some grape or cherry tomatoes on hand; slice some in half and add them too.
Cubing the cold boiled potatoes and with olive oil, to which I added some real unsalted butter, I did fry them.
Adding some shredded rice cheese at the last minute.
- This is what your fried potatoes look like with the shredded rice cheese kind of melted over them.
- This is how the English cucumber salad with some cherry tomatoes looks like... A very healthy and quick but tasty vegetarian supper!
- These are the Whole Foods Market Rice shreds with Mozarella flavor as a shredded cheese alternative.
- Contains 0% Cholesterol and is thus a healthy cheese.
- The Sodium is 15% but when you don't add salt to the potatoes when boiling, you balance that out.
- Eat green - for body & earth...
- This is the reduced fat mayonnaise from +Trader Joe's.
- Again this comes with 0% Cholesterol and Sodium only 3%.
This way we will stay healthy and still enjoy a hearty meal with such an eating routine.
Have a great day!

Hello Mariette, By coincidence, I was just thinking how to use up some potatoes in the refrigerator. I don't think that rice cheese is available here, but I'll use your recipe as an inspiration. With some spices or curry added, this looks like it would make a good Indian-type dish.

Dear Jim,
DeleteIt sure will! You can think up many variants to it. Enjoy whatever exotic version you will bake up.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYummy, Yummy(♥˘◡˘♥) Rice shreds with Mozarella flavor as a shredded cheese alternative! I wonder how it taste; never seen them before p;)
You sure must be taking care of what you eat for both of you to keep in shape(^_^)v
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteThe taste is just as it says; cheese with Mozzarella flavor; only a healthy alternative. Staying healthy and in shape you only reach if you know what to eat and more importantly; what NOT.
Hugs back from Georgia,
Mariette

Hi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI never heard of rice shreds. Thanks I'm going to get it. Gluten free is all I can eat now. Your supper looks yummy!
Dearest Dee,
DeleteGlad you found some new item for your gluten free diet. In your region there are plenty of Whole Foods Market stores so you certainly will find it!
Hugs to you,
Mariette

Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a delicious and nutritious and very easy meal! I love fried potatoes and have never thought to add the cheese. I have never seen the rice cheese, but I will look for it. The dressing sounds good, too! Thank you for sharing!
Hugs, xoxo
Dearest Karen,
DeleteWell, if one is in a hurry with not much time on hand; that makes us more inventive! Always keeping in mind our health issues and trying to eat healthy. Far better than grabbing some fast food with high sodium and probably high fat.
Glad you liked it and you're more than welcome as I'm glad to share!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty, delicious and healthy meal! I'm a veggie and I'd certainly love this supper! :)
Thank you for sharing! I love your healthy choices! Good for you and good for the world!
Hugs!
Dearest Anna,
DeleteWell, this is something that you for sure also do eat in the Alps; maybe not with rice cheese. But we more and more do appreciate vegetarian dishes; as you said good for us and good for the world!
Hugs,
Mariette
They look pretty simple to cook and also very tasty! I love vegetarian meal from time to time. I've tried vegetarian cheese before, I think it was made of soy milk. Never had rice cheese before, but I'm sure it's very yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Japan, I never had potatoes with skin. We always peeled. I don't know why. But I started to eat potatoes with skin here in the U.S. and I love it :-)
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteThe vegetarian cheese is by far not the same as this one. Rice cheese is very soft; not as plastic like looking and great cheese flavor too.
Oh, eating potatoes with skin we also learned here! It also is simple and since potatoes are very expensive here in the U.S. it saves you quite some waste by not peeling them. Funny the way we all adapt to other cultures...
Hugs,
Mariette
YUM! looks great and sounds fabulous. I have not heard of shredded rice cheese ... what a great idea... will look for it next time I'm in the city at Whole foods. We are trying to eat more healthy and light. Thanks for sharing this great idea. Blessings, C. (HHL)
ReplyDeleteDearest Celia,
DeleteThis rice cheese is great; also in salads! The only drawback is that so far only Whole Foods Market sells it... But you can stock up on it easily.
Hugs to you both,
Mariette

Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteWish you would have such a Whole Foods Market in Australia as well. We have it in Canada, U.S. and in the U.K.
Don't know if you could find such rice cheese shreds in Australia. I do hope you will!
Hugs to you and happy weekend.
Mariette
Dearest Mariette
ReplyDeleteThis looks very tasty ...
I'm pretty bad at cooking vegetarian food.
I should probably use this recipe.
Have a great weekend
Kajsa
Dearest Kajsa,
DeleteThere comes a time in our life when health dictates us what to eat.
Eating vegetarian always has been very healthy; provided you make sure it is balanced and gives you all your protein.
Hugs to you and happy weekend!
Mariette
I am a fan of potatoes and this recipe seems easy and absolutely delicious!Only I don't eat very light....!!!!I should eat more healthy!
