Cooking with potatoes
Potatoes are filling, budget friendly, and easy to cook many ways. Boil them for mash or salad, roast them until crisp, or bake them whole and top them how you like.
Here you will find gratins, soups, hash browns, potato salad, and hearty sides. Butter, salt, herbs, and a little cream go a long way. Unlike sweet potatoes, these have a mild flavor and a softer, fluffier bite, so they soak up whatever you pair them with.
Questions folks ask
What can I make with potatoes?
Try mashed potatoes, roasted wedges, potato soup, gratin, hash browns, or potato salad. They also go well in stews and breakfast skillets.
Which potatoes are best for mashing?
Starchy potatoes like russets make light, fluffy mash. Yukon Gold potatoes are creamier and have a buttery taste.
Should I peel potatoes?
It is up to you. Thin skins on small or new potatoes are fine to leave on. Scrub them well first.
Kitchen tips
- Start potatoes in cold, salted water so they cook evenly.
- Dry cut potatoes well before roasting for crispier edges.
- Russets are fluffy, and waxy potatoes hold their shape in salads.
- Do not overmix mashed potatoes or they can turn gluey.
- Store potatoes in a cool, dark spot, not in the fridge.
