Last week I made a trip to a new-to-me farmer’s market that was opening for it’s first week of the season. I wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s a smaller market, so I tried not to get too excited…but to my delight, I came home with two bags stuffed full of goodies.
First up, my absolute favorite peaches. It was their first pick of the season and I immediately grabbed a bag.
Next up, potatoes. The hubby and I absolutely love roasted potatoes and when I was these tiny little butter potatoes I knew I just had to have them.
At the next stall there were some beautiful green onions. Since I was fresh out at home, I snagged a bundle:
Finally, I picked out some sweet corn and tomatoes…then I hit the road. My mind was racing the whole way home about what I could make with all of these delicious goodies.
Here’s what I did:
I washed the potatoes, then halved or quartered them depending on their size. I put them on a pan with a couple strips of turkey bacon. (You could definitely pick up some great bacon at the Farmer’s Market, but I happened to have some at home already from last week!). Turkey bacon doesn’t produce a lot of grease, but it does make some, and I knew the potatoes would be delicious if they took a little tumble in some of that grease after the bacon was done cooking 🙂
Next I chopped the green onions and set them aside:
Next up, corn. I love grilling corn in the summer to give it a deeper flavor so I prepped three of the ears for the grill by pulling the husks back carefully and removing as much silk as possible. Then I grilled them for about 10 minutes, turning often.
Once the corn had cooled enough, I sliced it off the cob and into a big bowl. I chopped up the bacon and added it to the bowl, along with some black beans that I defrosted from the freezer and the green onions. When the potatoes finished roasting, I added them as well.
If you want, you can add a little of your favorite Parmesan-type cheese. Stir to combine and serve while still warm.

Yum, these look like delicious farmers market finds!! I haven’t had any peaches this summer yet, I’ll have to find some soon!
I love Farmers Markets! Your finds and that recipe look delicious! I just had some peaches over the weekend and eat them like apples — they were literally the best peaches ever! I can’t wait to grill some peaches like you though!
Don’t you just love grilled peaches? They could be my favorite summer dessert…. And I couldn’t do without the farmers market. Luckily in los angeles, we have them 7 days a week : ) ps I go about 6!
When I was at the supermarket this Sunday, I bought some sweet potatoes and thought about making a SP hash…I may have to steal some of your techniques! Looks delish!
If you soak the corn in water for a bit, you don’t need to reove the silk beofre grilling. It comes off easily when peeled.
I love the pictures from the market! Makes me hungry actually. This summer I cannot get enough of potatoes and corn!! I swear this makes me drool. Perfect recipe my friend!!
If you soak the corn for a bit you will not need to remove the silks before grilling. They will come off nicely when the husk is peeled.
this looks so good! i recently made a really yummy corn/couscous salad with a bunch of veggies & herbs from the farmers market. i <3 summer!
I’m drooling. Really. I want to reach into my screen right now.
Looks so fresh and summery! YUM! I always leave the farmers market wanting to use everything I picked up immediately 🙂 I get so excited!
oh wow, that hash looks amazing!! i love farmers’ markets!! your photos from the one you went to are great. 🙂
