10 Must-Try Potato Recipes

If you’ve ever dug into a creamy bowl of mashed potatoes, you know that potatoes are one of the most comforting foods out there. The best part is their versatility, as they can be cooked in a myriad of ways. Read below for 10 of our favourite recipes.

1. Greek Lemon Potatoes

Warm, lemony and melt-in-your-mouth tender are how we would describe these potatoes. Perfect to enjoy alongside Greek-style chicken or lamb, they’ll quickly become your go-to potato side dish. 

2. Vonnas-Style Potato Pancakes

These potato pancakes, originally from Vonnas, France combine mashed potatoes (perfect for using leftovers!) with flour, milk and eggs. Fry in butter and serve with smoked salmon or caviar and a dollop of crème fraîche for a delectable appetizer.

3. Potato and Onion Soup Au Gratin

French onion soup meets potato and bacon soup in this cozy recipe that fires on all cylinders. The flavours of onion, garlic, butter, leek and potatoes are bursting in the smooth purée, that’s then topped with Gouda, cheddar, a slice of toasted bread and bacon bits before being placed beneath the broiler.

4. Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes

With their crisp exterior and creamy interior, smashed potatoes baked in the oven are the ultimate snack. Served on a bed of salt and vinegar-flavoured mayonnaise and garnished with fresh dill, this dish is an absolute flavour bomb.

5. Breakfast Hash Browns

Hash brown patties are one of our favourite ways to enjoy potatoes in the morning. Crisp and warm, they’re a great addition to your breakfast plate alongside eggs and bacon, yet perfectly portable for when you’re on the go!

6. Hasselback Fingerling Potatoes

Hasselback potatoes are potatoes cut without going through the bottom, creating a fan-like effect. Tossed in butter (to get between each slice!) and then baked, they’re wonderfully golden and crispy and will make quite the impression on the dinner table!

7. Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes

Elevate your side dish game with these scalloped potatoes. Thinly sliced potatoes swim in a velvety cream sauce infused with garlic, and then the dish is cooked to golden perfection in the slow cooker. It’s so comforting, you’ll want to eat the whole thing as your main meal!

8. Egg and Potato Salad

Potato salad is a classic picnic dish, the ultimate side dish to grilled meat. But this recipe stands on its own, with hard-boiled eggs bringing a punch of protein. And with juicy bits of crunch from the celery and a tangy dressing, it’s a meal you’ll want to enjoy year round.

9. Thousand-Layer Potatoes (Potato Pavé)

While these potatoes don’t literally have a thousand layers, they sure do look impressive! Note that this isn’t a “quick and easy” recipe; time and care are required to make them. But the final result will surely be worth it.

10. Potato Doughnuts

There are yeast doughnuts, cake doughnuts and, yes, potato doughnuts! These old-fashioned treats are made with leftover unseasoned mashed potatoes. Crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, they’re irresistible.
