Antigo, WI — Football season means football parties, so the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) has created a roster of creative Wisconsin potato recipes perfect for game day. The winning roster is a result of the Game Day Wisconsin Potatoes Recipe Contest.
* First place was awarded to Dion Frischer of Ann Arbor, Michigan for the sensational flavors of the easy-to-make Potato Skins with Skordalia. Dion’s skordalia is a Greek garlic dipping sauce featuring Wisconsin Russet potatoes, almonds, lemon juice and white wine vinegar. She will receive two NFL team game jerseys for first place.
* Donna Ryan’s Southwest Potato Salsa Strudel took second place. Donna’s recipe tucks potatoes, tomatillos, tomatoes, onion, lime, garlic and pepper jack cheese into a delicious puff pastry. Donna, of Topsfield, MA will receive an NFL party pack with an inflatable NFL buffet and four Quad chairs, perfect for tailgating or at-home parties.
* The third place winner, Jenn Tidwell of Fair Oaks, CA, will receive an NFL team snack helmet for her dual-vegetable bite-size Baked Potato and Cauliflower Spicy Cheddar Cups.
Donna Bardocz of Howell, Michigan was awarded an iPad from the Wisconsin Potatoes Game Day Recipe Contest. Donna’s name was randomly drawn from the pool of Game Day recipe contest voters and entrants.
The next Wisconsin potato recipe contest will be hosted in winter 2012 at http://www.eatwisconsinpotatoes.com. For more great Wisconsin potato recipes and nutrition information, join the Eat Wisconsin Potatoes Facebook page.
