Potato Laced Bread Sticks

Potatoes and bread. These things I could eat forever and ever. Stranded on a deserted island? I want bread and potatoes (ok… and cheese, and coffee, and gummy bears). Why are bad things so good? WHY? Its evil. There are tomatoes in the marinara, so those are good for you. Anyway, this recipe is all Sandra Lee semi home made in your face. Sometimes I want pizza, and potatoes, and a marinara dipping sauce, and I don’t want to get all up in my kitchens business to have it. Don’t judge. In my opinion, the best pizza dough is from Whole Foods. So if you have a Whole Foods near you, you should try it.
