So if you’re like us, you’re probably gearing up for a game day party with friends this Sunday with plenty of tasty game day snacks, appetizers, and celebratory libations to enjoy while watching touchdowns, hikes, and long passes. Instead of the usual buffalo wings, pizza and chips, try these crowd-pleasing recipes for some (or all!) of your game day snacks. No one has to know they’re just a bit healthier but just as delicious! Ready for kickoff?

Touchdown: Nacho Roasted Potatoes with Easy Queso Sauce

This recipe gets 6 points on the board.

Tackle: Tex Mex Potato Nuggets

Tex Mex Potato Nuggets deliver the crisp crunch of nuggets or fries, in a fun new way. Plus they’re gluten-free. Jalapeños add zing. Serve with a side of salsa, guacamole or light sour cream, or all of the above. Maybe even a quarterback sack!

End Zone: Spicy Bacon Wrapped Little Potatoes

These cute little packages skewered with a toothpick look great on the buffet table. And, it wouldn’t be the Big Game without bacon. Make Spicy Bacon Wrapped Little Potatoes ahead and bake before serving. Your taste buds will be doing their own celebratory dance!
