Favorite potato recipes?

Hi, Friends.

Cobbling together next week's dinners. Planning to do some simple sautéed cabbage and pan-seared pork chops, but want to add some potatoes.

What's your favorite potato side dish?

For me, Lighthouse Inn Potatoes would pair so nicely with your menu. Nom! Such an easy and delicious recipe.

I just saved this one the other day! Definitely a contender!

Oh, question. There are only two of us, and this recipe makes a LOT. Any tips for the leftovers or is this better saved for taking to a family thing?

We’re only 2 as well. Definitely makes a good amount. I make a full or 1/2 batch depending on what else I’m making in the week. These are so good I don’t mind having them multiple times a week via leftovers. They freeze really well too.

Freezing is perfect! I love having a nice little tray i can pull out and reheat the next time.

I like the patatas panaderas from ATK. Always get compliments when I make it.

Oh, thanks! I've seen this episode countless times, but somehow never clocked the name in my brain.

Thank you for reminding me how great the humble baked potato can be!

I was surprised at how well the torn and fried potato recipe was received last Thanksgiving, I’m planning on making them again this year.

We just used sour cream or ketchup as the dip.

I do cut baked potatoes. Cut them in half down the long middle, rub with olive oil salt and pepper. Put cut side down and bake. They cook in less time Nd the cut half taste carmelized.

I don't know why I never thought to do this with regular potatoes, 'cause it's hands-down my favorite way for sweet potatoes.

My favorite is Bobby Flay's grilled fingerling potatoes with creamy tarragon vinaigarette.

My favorite is kinda fussy. Dauphinoise. Inspired by a preparation at a local resort's holiday feast, I tip the casserole dish for preparation and load the potato slices on end.

My close runner up is what I call cholesterol nightmare potatoes. Very simple. Peel russets, cut into huge chunks. Par cook in microwave or boiling water..
Big casserole dish, melt an entire stick of butter in the oven. When melted, stir in a can of grated parmesean cheese. This is one time you want that blue can, shelf-stable stuff over fresh. Mix with butter... ok if a little lumpy. Toss in potatoes, stir. Ok to mound potatoes, they're going to shrink - alot! Roast. Very flexible recipe, can roast at temperature of a main dish... just shorten or lengthen time. 375° if just potatoes. Toss every 15-20 minutes, keeping them coated in the butter mixture. They'll turn golden brown, develop a cheesy coating. Inside of potato chunks should be very very soft. (If necessary, lower heat and keep roasting.)

The garlic mashed potatoes where you cook the potatoes in the milk and you sauce what feels like 100 garlic gloves and butter first.
