    Duchess Baked Potatoes

    Savory Sweet Potato Casserole

    Brown butter and rosemary are the ultimate, timeless pairing for sweet potatoes. Making your own breadcrumbs from sourdough bread shoots this recipe into all-star status, but using store-bought in a pinch is perfectly fine too.

    Mashed Baked Potatoes With Chives

    Golden Potato Cake

    It’s not about the potatoes—it’s what you do to the potatoes. In this recipe, precook them until they’re tender, then dispatch clarified butter (which is less likely to burn), heat, and time to help them become their best selves.

    Classic Potato Gratin

    When simmering the cream, make sure it’s over gentle heat (if it over-reduces, it will break).

    One-Pan Mashed Potatoes

    The game-changer in this mashed potatoes recipe is the schmaltz, which lends chicken-infused richness to the world’s greatest side dish. If you can’t find it, substitute duck fat, rendered bacon fat, or just good ol' butter.

    Lemon and Parsley Skillet-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

    Pesto Potato Salad

    To test boiled potatoes for doneness, use a skewer or the tines of a fork rather than the tip of a knife so you know they’re truly tender (a knife slides through the flesh way too easily). To test boiled eggs for doneness—wait, you can’t! Just make sure the eggs are room temperature when you drop them in the water (otherwise they’re prone to cracking), set a timer right away, and have an ice bath at the ready.
