Drumsticks, Green Beans and Red Potato Mash.
These family-friendly crispy drumsticks are great for any occasion, from a get-together to a Fourth of July barbeque, to an impromptu picnic! Don’t forget the red skin potato mash and green beans!
Cooks Tip: Give another potato a go. Red potatoes don’t just bring great color to a dish, their skins add nutrients, too! That said, this recipe is also great if you use Yukon gold or russet potatoes instead. For more fun recipes check out my blog at: http://tiny.cc/chefjamiekids
