Created by @VargaCooks, these Garlic Sausage Potato Stacks bring a festive twist to the holiday table, layering thin potatoes with herb butter, melty cheese, and savoury Grimm’s Garlic Sausage. They bake up into golden, crispy little towers that work as a cheerful side dish or a cozy snack for anyone sneaking back to the kitchen for “just one more.”

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven 400° F. Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin.

  2. Slice the sausage with a knife. Then Cut the potatoes using a Mandolin or a knife into 1/8 inch thin slices. 

  3. In a large bowl, stir together the cooled down melted butter, rosemary, thyme, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss well to coat.

  4. Layer the potatoes and sliced sausage evenly among the prepared muffin tin, stacking the layers all the way to the top. They will shrink a little. I do 2-3 potatoes per slice of sausage. Add in a pinch of cheese every few layers. About 3 cheese layers.

  5. Cover with foil and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and roast for 30 minutes.

  6. Remove the foil and continue cooking another 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden.

  7. Run a butter knife or offset spatula around the edges of each stack to release them. Serve immediately, sprinkled with a little flaky salt.

  7. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the coated smokies with cooking oil and place them in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
  8. Air fry for 15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and puffed.

If you’re looking for a great party bite that’s easy to prep, quick to grill, full of flavour and fun to serve, these grilled Smokie Poppers by Zimmy’s Nook are it! We used Grimm’s Jalapeño & Cheddar Poppers, grilled them until golden and gooey, then gave them an elote-inspired upgrade with a cheesy, zesty topping made from cotija, lime zest, and smoky spices.

Once grilled, we placed the poppers on a platter and sprinkled the elote-inspired topping over them while they were still hot. Then we skewered each popper with a fresh lime wedge so guests could squeeze that bright citrus right on top. The balance of creamy cheese, smoky heat, and lime is so good—and they disappear fast.

Ingredients

Smokies

Elote-Inspired Toppings

For Serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  2. Make the Toppings
    In a wide, shallow dish or small platter, mix together the crumbled cotija, lime zest, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using), cilantro, and a pinch of flaky sea salt (optional). Spread the mixture out in an even layer.
  3. Prep the Poppers
    Toss the Grimm’s Jalapeño & Cheddar Smokie Poppers with a bit of neutral oil to lightly coat them.
  4. Grill the Poppers
    Place the poppers on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely blistered and golden brown.
  5. Add the Elote-Inspired Toppings
    While the poppers are still hot, transfer them to the dish with the toppings and generously sprinkle the mixture over them. Gently press the poppers into the mixture to help it cling.
  6. Skewer and Serve
    On each skewer, add a fresh lime wedge followed by a dressed popper. Arrange on a platter and serve warm. Just before eating, squeeze the lime over the popper for a fresh, zesty finish.

May is Celiac Awareness Month, and this recipe is proof that gluten-free eating can still bring the crunch, the comfort, and all the flavour.

Created by the incredible Zimmy’s Nook, this recipe turns Grimm’s Gluten-Free Kolbassa into crispy, cheesy, smoky little bites of perfection. Coated in gluten-free panko and Parmesan, then air-fried until golden and crunchy—these are dangerously snackable. We were hooked after one.

✔️ Made with Grimm’s Kolbassa Sausage + gluten-free panko
✔️ Naturally gluten-free, fully craveable
✔️ Perfect for game day, BBQs, or snack attacks of any kind

Note: While all the main ingredients are gluten-free, always double-check labels to ensure they’re certified gluten-free—additives and cross-contamination can sneak in when you least expect it.

Ingredients

Kolbassa Fries

Mustard Aioli

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer
    Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Insert the air fry basket into the middle rack position.

  2. Prepare the Kolbassa
    Pat the kolbassa dry if it is a bit moist from packaging.
    Slice the kolbassa in half lengthwise, then cut into thin, fry-like strips, about 1 cm thick and 8-10 cm long.

  3. Prepare the Mustard Aioli
    In a small bowl, whisk together all aioli ingredients.
    Taste and adjust with a bit of honey for sweetness or lemon juice for brightness.

  4. Coat the Fries
    In a shallow bowl, mix the parmesan, gluten-free breadcrumbs, paprika, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
    Toss the kolbassa ‘fries” in olive oil. Then place the strips in the GF breadcrumb mixture, pressing each strip into the coating for better adherence.

    Tip: we used gluten-free panko but pulsed it in a coffee grinder to make it a bit finer—it helped the coating stick better and gave the fries an awesome golden crunch!

  5. Air-Fry
    Arrange the coated kolbassa strips in a single layer on the air fry basket.
    Air-fry for 12–15 minutes total, flipping halfway until golden and crispy. (Be cautious, start checking at the 10-minute mark and flip and add more time if required)

  6. Serve
    Pile the crispy kolbassa fries onto a platter and serve hot with a side of spicy mustard aioli for dipping.
    Garnish with chopped chives or fresh parsley and serve with a side of quick-pickled onions to cut the richness.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon, flipping occasionally, until crispy, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool slightly and crumble the cooked bacon.
  4. Sauté the veggies in a pan over medium heat. Cook the onion, mushrooms, and asparagus for 4-5 minutes until softened. 
  5. Whisk the egg mixture by combining the eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Assemble the quiches by dividing the bacon, ham, and sautéed veggies evenly among the tortilla cups.
  7. Pour in the egg mixture carefully, filling each cup until full.
  8. Decorate with tomatoes by placing the halved cherry tomatoes on top of each quiche, arranging them like little flower petals.
  9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  10. Cool slightly in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then carefully lift out and enjoy!
