The Absolute Best Potatoes 5fix: Simple Recipes You Need to Try
Potatoes are easily the most versatile ingredient in my pantry. Whether I’m roasting a tray for a busy weeknight or putting together a side for a weekend roast, they never let me down.
I’ve put together a collection of my go-to potato recipes that actually work. These are the ones I return to when I want something reliable, comforting, and simple enough to make without a lot of fuss.
Crispy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges
These wedges get impressively crunchy on the outside while staying fluffy in the center. I always make extra because they disappear fast.
Old Fashioned Scalloped Potatoes
This is total comfort food. Use a sharp cheddar and thinly slice the potatoes to ensure they cook through without turning into mush.
Crispy Garlic Roasted Baby Potatoes
Using baby potatoes means you don't have to peel anything. The garlic gets golden and aromatic, which makes the whole kitchen smell amazing.
Comforting Cheesy Potatoes
When you need a reliable side dish for a crowd, this is the one. It’s rich, bubbly, and works well alongside almost any protein.
Citrus and Herb Roasted Potatoes
The addition of fresh herbs and a hint of citrus brightens up the earthy flavor of the potato. It’s a nice change of pace from standard salt-and-pepper roasting.
