- Dolly Parton is still going strong at age 79. The country legend says when it comes to her diet there’s one food she has every single day, potatoes! “I have to have something with potatoes,” Dolly tells TODAY.com. “I mean, I’m just one of those people that I have to either have a baked potato, some mashed potatoes, or some french fries, or something to do with potatoes.” Dolly Parton says she enjoys both cooking and eating “good, hearty food.” She’s been known to prepare her meals ahead of time to freeze and reheat later. That’s what inspired her latest endeavor: single-serve frozen meals. Dolly’s frozen meals offer up her Southern favorites like beef pot roast, chicken and dumplings and country fried steak — all for under $5. The line of frozen meals also features a peach cobbler for dessert. “I hate bland frozen foods. So this is not bland,” she continues, explaining that she was involved in the tasting process, instructing the kitchen to add “a little more butter or a little more salt or a little more pepper” where needed. Dolly Parton’s Southern frozen meals are available now in grocery stores nationwide.
