The perfect getting-started-satisfying-starch solution when you need a simple protective meal on your plate. Additive-free, frozen, shredded potatoes are a shortcut to a satisfying fuss-free protective dinner. Add refrigerator handy PD staples like PD yogurt and hot sauce to dress them up. Add unsweetened, additive-free apple sauce for a potato pancake breakfast. If you are ready to veg-it-up pair these potatoes with Pico de Gallo, or the chopped salad featured in the 50/50 Salad Stuffed Potato Bowl. Stock your freezer with the additive-free hash brown potato options mentioned in the notes for a freezer handy PD meal.

Notes & Pro Tips:

• The two additive-free brands that I have found in St. George, Utah, are Mr. Dell’s 4-pound bag at Walmart and Cascadian Farm Organic 16oz bag at Natural Grocers—the Mr. Dell brand at Walmart is not additive-free in all locations so be sure to read labels
• Sprouts grocery store brand was additive-free when I lived in California
• Please assist other PD members by sharing the brand and resource in your area in the comments below
• Costco has a great deal on parchment paper during the holiday and winter season
• Wax paper is not the same as parchment paper
• Silicone mats can be used, but if you prefer faster clean-up use parchment paper
• Silicone mats will make their way into your Workplace for Wellness when you come across a few recipes that require them
• When practicing PD the carry-out bags, plastic packages, take away coffee cups, straws, soda, and water bottles are eliminated; we are making a massive impact on our health, the animals, and our planet
• It is not what we add to a Protective Diet that reverses disease and slims us down, it is what we eliminate that allows our body to heal and shed excess body fat
• With every passing day on a PD you will be 24-hours closer to optimal health and your ideal body weight
• Every day that we choose a Protective Diet we assist our protective resident microbiota in maintaining cellular homeostasis
