Chef Cooper runs a couple of highly regarded restaurants near Atlanta, but in the Boulder schools, she’s known as “The Renegade Lunch Lady.” She has revamped the school lunch program with dishes like this colorful hash. It combines winter vegetables like rutabaga, butternut squash and parsnips with red potatoes to boost the nutritional value of a classic hash while adding extra servings of vitamin-packed veggies.
